ePortfolios for experiential learning: Guided by theory, cultivated by Students
9th November 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
This online symposium will feature keynote presentations by Prof Kathleen Yancey (FSU, ePortfolio-as-Curriculum: Models and Practices for Developing Students’ ePortfolio Literacy) and Prof Penny Light (SGU, ‘Documenting Learning with ePortfolios: A Guide for College Instructors’) and will be interspersed with interactive presentations facilitated by Aisling Reast (Hibernia College, Registrar) and Dr Orna Farrell (DCU).
The symposium will then hear from students Laine Abria (TCD) and Alex McKibben (RCSI), mid-way through a 16-week experiential placement in ‘role emerging education’ (Preceptor Dr Cicely Roche) as part of their fourth- year studies. Laine and Alex are exploring the concept of ePortfolios, in the context of experiential learning and from the student’s perspective, and will share their findings and observations with speakers and attendees.
