A walkthrough through portfolios in SyrCLE
I made a screencast of the OSP setup we have here in the School of Education. I wasn't able to interview a student so that I could show off their portfolio, but it really does look pretty good.
Instead, you get to see some test data... Ipsum lorem...
The file is pretty big (56MB) and it doesn't "stream" well. I used IShowU to make it and for $20, its a pretty good little app! I just wish it would create a "fast start" movie. Maybe I missed something in the setup...
Regardless, I tried to take the viewer through the following:
- Drivers behind our pilot
- Our plan for organizing students into cohorts
- The types of sites we use in our instance of Sakai
- Some documentation and a conceptual model I wrote about Portfolio Templates (on confluence).
- Some preliminary web designs for what we wanted the portfolios to look like.
- A description of the different data structures created to support our plan and their availability through the Community Library. (See the attachments to that page of confluence).
- A demonstration of what evaluators get to see when they look at student portfolios published using our "Portfolio Review" Template .
- A description of our alternative method for assessing student portfolios using the Data Point tool.
