Getting to know each other:
• Pick a card that mostly describes your feelings, expectations and goals for the educational technology studies now at the beginning of the INTRO –course…
Team up with the students that have the same card as you do. Introduce yourself to the other members of your team, tell them something about your background and explain, why did you pick this card…

What is a portfolio?
• A collection of documents that have been chosen to demonstrate person’s expertise, skills, learning and development
• Portfolio is always personal and unique
• DIGITAL PORTFOLIO (e-portfolio) means a portfolio that contains digital documents and different kinds of media contents.
• Usually digital portfolios are published in the internet
Venla VallivaaraLET – Learning and Educational Technology Research UnitUniversity of Oulu2012-09-13
Different types of portfolios
• Developmental (working) portfolio, which is a record of things that the owner has done over a period of time, and may be directly tied to learning outcomes.
• Reflective (learning) portfolio includes personal reflection on the content and what it means for the owner’s development.
• Representational (showcase) portfolio that shows the owner’s achievements in relation to particular work or developmental goals.
• When portfolio is used for job applications it can be called also a career portfolio.

How can you make your learning visible?
Venla VallivaaraLET – Learning and Educational Technology Research UnitUniversity of Oulu2012-09-13
Digital portfolio in Educational Technology
studiesDevelopmental, reflective and representational• Contains:
– Learning assignments that are written as a text– Embedded or linked multimedia files that you have
produced during the studies– Reflective writings on what you have learned, thought
and discovered during your studies– Comments from and discussion with your peers,
tutors and teachers– Anything else you want to include to your portfolio as
a showcase of your learning and expertise Professional portfolio, career portfolio
Venla VallivaaraLET – Learning and Educational Technology Research UnitUniversity of Oulu2012-09-13
Why Digital Portfolio?
• Helps you to learn by articulating your thoughts (and discussing them with others)
• Helps you to see the process of your learning, what you have learned and accomplished
• Helps the teachers and other students to see your thoughts, learning process and accomplishments
• Provides an easy way to do, ”return” and collect your learning assignments
• Shows the potential employers your achievements and expertise
• Provides a way to show the world who you are, helps you to create networks
• Provides a way for your relatives, friends and other interested people to see how you are doing and what you are thinking
• Helps all interested people to see, what our studies are about
Venla VallivaaraLET – Learning and Educational Technology Research UnitUniversity of Oulu2012-09-13
What could be the main contents of your potfolio?
Who will be the main readers (target group) of your portfolio?
What are the main issues you want the reader to know about you?
Do you want to include other issues besides these studies?
– Hobbies, interests, happenings in your everyday life, professional contents, current issues in politics…?
Venla VallivaaraLET – Learning and Educational Technology Research UnitUniversity of Oulu2012-09-13
Blog as a digital portfolio
• provides a simple and free platform, where you can share your thoughts, documents and media files in an well-structured and visually pleasing form without any specific programming or other technical special skills.
• enables an easy way to comment and discuss, refer to other blogs or sites and embed multimedia to your portfolio.
• can be totally public to all web users or some of the content may be protected with a password for only selected viewers to see.

(portfolio assignments 1-4), structure, and technical implementation.
• The evaluation of the portfolio will also considerably affect the final grading of the course.
• Return/evaluation date 2012-12-07– portfolio assignments 1-4 have their own return dates
• The portfolio assignments given in other courses will be evaluated as a part of those courses.

How could you structure your blog?– What could be the main categories? – How about tags?– Should there be some ’permanent’
pages?
How about the visual look of your portfolio?
