5 Prepare information for transfer to an ePortfolio

You have probably already noticed that one of the assignments in each of your HRMT courses is to create an ePortfolio.  What is the relationship between notetaking, reflection, gathering information in your online notebook, and eventually completing a successful ePortfolio.

Your Employment Law ePortfolio requires:

  1. Topic/knowledge capture
  2. A tool kit
  3. Personal reflection

If you choose to follow the suggestions provided so far in this workshop, you will have developed an online notebook that already includes much of the content for your ePortfolio.  For example:

-A well-written summary after each week’s notes will provide much of the source material for your knowledge capture.

-You can add relevant resources to your notebook as you study each week’s topic; these can be copied to your ePortfolio.

-If you have taken the time to reflect throughout the course, you will already have source material that demonstrates your careful thought and application on course material.

Develop your process:  Not all information from your notebook will go in your Portfolio.  You will need to curate your final product.  The ePortfolio assignment will be less stressful, and likely more beneficial, if you are able to work on it week by week, choosing key content from your notebook, and adding it to your Portfolio.  Here is one possible work process.   (1)  Create the pages in Mahara at the beginning of the class.  Determine your basic layout and navigation method.  (2)  Add content to the knowledge capture and toolkit pages weekly, as you have collected it in your notebook.  (3)  (Recommended): If you have concerns about the quality of your writing, visit a Writing Tutor or HRMT tutor early in the course (week 3-4) for suggestions on how to edit and review your work.  (4) In the last weeks of the course, complete your RPC analysis and final reflections. Review and edit your other work.
