EPortfolio Stories from Down Under

Historical Reflections on Pedagogy and Practice, Research, and Technology 

Once upon a time, AAEEBL was an association focusing on portfolio practice in North America. However, already pretty much from its inception, scholars and practitioners from other parts of the world joined its Annual Meeting first in Boston and then annually around the North American continent, conversing, discussing, and learning from each other. On the other side of the world, ePortfolios Australia was in the making (2012) and has become the foremost professional community around all things portfolios in Oceania, predominantly Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. It has been a fruitful partnership, with joint initiatives like webinars, research projects, and conference presentations regularly. 

In this session, portfolio practitioners and researchers from Down Under will share stories of the evolution of portfolio practice in Oceania with the participants of the AAEEBL Annual Meeting in Providence. After the scene is set, 6-8 conversationalists will take up historical reflections on ePortfolio pedagogy and practice, research, and technology, such as where did we start, where are we right now, and where do we want to go? We will provide insight into portfolio practice from that part of the world, contributing to the conversation that our colleagues in the Northern Hemisphere are having.  

The storytellers from the lands far away and on the other side of the earth will weave stories from their experiences and research to share and to inspire others. Will there be a happy end? Come along to find out.
