learning portfolios : a structured approach
DESCRIPTION
Inspired by program based principles, instructors are now designing fully integrated sequences of learning modules linked to learning outcomes were students are expected to post artefacts and associated reflexive comments. We show how this kind of learning environment can be implemented in Sakai 2.6 and hopefully Sakai 3.0 by adapting and extending the OpenSyllabus structured approach.TRANSCRIPT
Learning portfolios : a structured approach
Jacques RaynauldProfessor
HEC Montréal – MATI MontréalJune 15 2010
Context of the session
• MATI Montréal is a research center for HEC Montréal, École polytechnique and University of Montréal
• Started a strategic initiative on portfolios • After reviewing the needs and after discussing
with the community, we choose to concentrate on structured-guided-evaluation-semantic portfolios (vs free form or expressive portfolios)

11th Sakai Conference - June 15-17, 2010 3
Context of the session
• Related to many Sakai 2010 presentations:• Reporting (Monday, Lyn Ward)• Rubrics (Tuesday, Implementing the AAC&U
Rubrics, S. Keesler)• Sakai 3• Etc.
Outline
• Three use cases• Setting learning outcomes in a business school
program design• Communication workshop for engineers• Sequences of learning activities for health
practitioners • Possible extension of Open Syllabus as a
structured portfolio editor • List of requirements + Sakai 3 ideas + road-map

Use case # 1 : adding learning outcomes
• HEC Montréal has to comply to an accreditation process
• Will eventually need to collect the evidence• The most pressing need is to define learning
outcomes at the course level and make sure that the overall picture is right
• Currently using Open Syllabus

Use case #2 – Communication workshop
• Generic sequence• Workshop designed by the instructor – include
learning outcomes• Students submit an artefact with some comments• Tutors evaluate or grade the artefact• Students must post a comment about their
evaluation• Looks like OSP … but the engineering school is
using Moodle. Need someting along Web 2.0 tool

Use case #3 : learning sequences
• Joint project involving :• School of Medecine - CPASS center• BENA – Teaching-Learning-Technology group• CRIM• MATI Montréal
• Proof of concept in Sakai 3

Learning outcomes
I reflect on my learning process
I spell out my learning goals
I find some documentation
I do the task

Artefacts and evaluation
Key building blocks and gaps to close
1. Organized content with learning outcomes library
2. Task manager linked to learning outcomes3. Forms (guidance, evaluation)4. Work-flow 5. Reflexive comments6. Standards (LEAP2A)

Road-map and questions
• Mock-up of the use cases available at the end of the summer
• Generalize Open Syllabus to a generic object editor and a Open Social Gadget to be included in Sakai 3(September). Blocks #1, #2 and #3
• Work-flow # 4 with Open Scenario Team (Savoie)• Leverage the work in Sakai 3 for the reflexive
comments # 5• [email protected]
