QUOTE
The e-portfolio is the central and common point for the student experience… It is a reflection of the student as a person undergoing continuous personal development, not just a store of evidence.
-Geoff Rebbeck, e-Learning Coordinator, Thanet College, quoted in JISC, 2008, Effective Practice with e-Portfolios

Knowing the learner (Self-awareness)
• Understanding prior knowledge• Motivation for and attitudes toward
learning• Help learners understand themselves• See their growth over time
![Page 16: ePortfolioCA Summit Helen Barrett](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550f071b4c90513798b5440/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Planning for learning (Self management)
• Setting goals• Develop a plan to
achieve these goals
![Page 17: ePortfolioCA Summit Helen Barrett](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550f071b4c90513798b5440/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Understanding how to learn (Meta-learning)
• Awareness of learners to different approaches to learning
• Deep vs. Surface Learning, Rote vs. Meaningful Learning
• Different Learning Styles• Help learners recognize success• Accommodate approaches that are not
successful
![Page 18: ePortfolioCA Summit Helen Barrett](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070315/5550f071b4c90513798b5440/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
