Telling e-Portfolio Stories Conference 2009: 'e-Portfolio-Based Learning'

Telling e-Portfolio Stories Conference 2009: 'e-Portfolio-Based Learning'
 
This year's conference aims to explore the emergent theme of e-portfolio-based learning.  We would like to share e-portfolio stories from areas such as learning, teaching, assessment, PDP, CPD, work based learning, research, strategy and policy.  As we would like to align the conference closely with the work of JISC and the e-portfolio effective practice publication, we aim to theme this year's stories into multiple perspectives:
  • Learner perspective
  • Practitioner perspective
  • Institutional perspective
  • Lifelong learning perspective
This will be held at the University of Wolverhampton on the 10 & 11 June 2009 and thanks to the additional support from JISC, we are able to offer this 2 day event for £40 per delegate. (accommodation for this event will need to booked separately - a hotel list will be available on the website)
 
All details regarding abstract submission and registration for this event can be found at  www.wlv.ac.uk/tellingstories or if you need any further information please contact Marie Gildea  m.gildea@wlv.ac.uk
