Hi Martyn,
Thanks for all your interesting comments. I think that box-ticking is a tough one... And students are often box-tickers too, i.e. they want to do well with assessment and are inevitably focused on the things that will help…"

Diana Ayling replied to Simon Nash's discussion AUSSE results - relevance to student portfolios in the group Student Portfolios (eportfolios)

Here are some examples....
By the end of the course students will be…"

AUSSE results - relevance to student portfolios
Here's a snapshot of a few AUSSE scores that seem relevant in terms of student portfolios and the aims of reflective writing/reflection on learning, and work-integrated learning and career readiness. (AUSSE scores for students are 1 = Never, 2 = Sometimes, 3 = Often, 4 = Very Often) "Examined own views on a topic or issue" (Unitec students 2.4, ITPs overall 2.4)."Kept your resume up-to-date" (Unitec students 2.1, ITPs overall 2.0)"Set career development goals and plans" (Unitec 2.5, ITPs…See More

They routinely scratch their collective heads over issues such as building weather-tightness, or how to ensure neighbours are all onside with development plans, or maybe an arcane aspect of historic building legislation. Jim's a Lecturer in…

Katie Bruffy said… - Cool ≠ Teachers. I agree with the "written" discussion you started today at the social media session..however, I think Facebook and the Ning can be very successful if we utilize the platforms differently. What if we used them while we teach or when we delivered a session? For example, what if students posted questions on Facebook during class that were answered during class or left for others to answer outside of class?
I believe we can think of creative solutions to the issues that have been presented. What are your ideas?
