It has a number of features that would lend themselves well to collating evidence of learning for midwifery students; they could upload .pdfs, video, photographs and text, documents eg the certificates generated by online learning packages etc. I imagine there is a way to make them 'private'? I can see that if it was publically available this would be a powerful detractor, as reflective practice is a touchstone for midwifery practice, but students would not be willing to share their reflective writing. Not being a Facebooker - I have no idea about privacy settings etc, but assume an e-portfolio would be 'controllable'somehow. When I was looking at Mahara I had the impression that individual components of the portfolio could be made accessible as the portfolio 'owner' determined, eg some Views could be shared with lecturers, and others could be viewed only by the person whose portfolio it was. I am warming to the idea of having my own professional e-portfolio - I already keep a paper-based one but can see the value of having everything collated digitally, much more sustainable!Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725457278754261828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3506619162542991907.post-35965733483102494532012-08-20T19:42:02.132-07:002012-08-20T19:42:02.132-07:00Ah so you now while away the hours on your ipad.

It enables moodle quizzes to be easily accessed via mobile devices including cellphones. <br /><br />A very specific, functional app for your web-enabled Mobile phone/device, the <a href="http://m.vletools.com/login" rel="nofollow"> site</a> helps you login to any Moodle and access the quizzes and pages you need. <br /><br />For more information - see the: <a href="http://www.moodlenews.com/2011/quizzes-theres-an-app-for-that-the-moodle-quiz-mobile/" rel="nofollow">Moodle quiz mobile article</a>.<br /><br />ePortfolios are a great idea - would you get students to use these for learning and for assessment? Presently, mahara is owned by Op but is not integrated wit moodle. Although, it is open source it still needs to be set up on an organisational server and supported. Another easier to use platform is Google sites, and this is supported by Google. <br /><br />This platform would enable students to have full ownership whereas with mahara they are tied to the organisation's ePortfolio platform. <br /><br />ePortfolios is being investigated with the Nursing school and I have been doing some work with them - I started with workshops about the pedagogy associated with ePortfolios, and the next phase is looking at the most appropriate technology/platform. here is an <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/lillianseportfolio/" rel="nofollow"> example portfolio on Google sites</a>. <br />See what you think.Bronwyn hegartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032750297040394983noreply@blogger.com
