Abstract
E-portfolios are known as a technology- supported learning method for the documentation of competency development. In this article the didactic approach, the course design and the results of the Leonardo da Vinci project MOSEP (More self-esteem with my e-portfolio) are described. The main objective of the project was to develop, test and evaluate a new e-portfolio training concept for teachers and tutors in order to support learners during their competence development phase.
Highlights
In recent times “e-portfolio” has become the buzz word for individual, self-directed and lifelong learning
This article is based on the results of the European Project “MOSEP – more self-esteem with my e-portfolio”
The project group developed a set of measures in order to support the direct and the indirect target groups when implementing e-portfolios for competence development: a basic study, identifying the required competencies for teachers and vocational counselors for the support of e-portfolio users; a didactic concept addressing issues of different target groups and sectors; an online course for the implementation, usage and the guiding processes of e-portfolios and a set of supporting materials which are freely available online for download from the project website as well as offline (DVD)
Summary
This article is based on the results of the European Project “MOSEP – more self-esteem with my e-portfolio”. MOSEP was a European project, funded by the European commission in the Leonardo da Vinci program (from 2006 to 2008). It had ten partners from seven European countries, including Austria, Germany, UK, France, Poland, Lithuania and Bulgaria. The overall project idea is to promote e-portfolios as a means for continuous competence development reducing the amount of early school leavers in the transition phase from lower to upper secondary school or to vocational education. In order to fulfill this objective, the project partners developed a course and supporting materials for e-portfolio teachers and tutors acting as multipliers. The project was initiated and co-ordinated by Salzburg Research Forschungsgesellschaft, Austria
