7. Small group activity
• In your table groups, design an
appropriate ePortfolio assessment item for
the learning outcome/s applicable to your
year (1st yr discipline core, 2nd yr discipline
core, 2nd year WIL, 3rd yr capstone)
– Think about the things we’ve just discussed
(e.g. designing ePortfolio use)
– Complete the workshop task questions to
guide you with your design
– Be ready to share your ideas with the whole
group at the end of the activity
8. Show examples
• Support resources (workbooks, help in an
ePortfolio, training, student support, etc. )
• First year through end of course experience
• Course learning outcomes related to
professional competencies
• Work-integrated learning and employability
9. Resume small group activity
• Continue working on workshop task
– If you have extra time, document ideas for
scaffolding activities that will lead up to the
final assessment task
10. Small group presentation
• Present your assessment item to the rest
of the group. Explain why you think this is
appropriate for the year level.
• Whole group discussion: Are these
activities scaffolded?
