Introduction

When six of us started our first lernOS Circle in September 2019, it was not yet clear where this learning journey would lead us finally. But we were aware that we wanted to connect this experiment with something that could give something back to others who would try it after us.

Basically each of us had his own topic that he pursued during the circle time. Nevertheless, the shared experience of supporting each other and exchanging information online enabled us to make good progress on all of our topics.

Therefore the decision was made relatively quickly to continue with three of us after the Circle and to create two own guides (Circle Guides), which should enable others to gain these experiences themselves through various innovative learning methods. So in the end one of these two guides was created and we hope that it can accompany you well on your learning journey.

Central objectives of this ePortfolio Learning Guide

This Circle Guide would like to show you a learning method with which you can continue your education in an exciting future topic and exchange and network with other learners.

You will be able to learn a basic and overview knowledge of the ePortfolio method and Social Software.

At the same time you will build or further develop your own ePortfolio with a suitable software and work out a detailed understanding of an exciting topic with others.

We are already looking forward to your field reports and wish you a lot of fun!

About lernOS

lernOS is a method of self-organization for people living and working in the 21st century. To be successful today, you need to be constantly learning, organizing and developing. No one else is responsible for this process. You have to take care of it yourself (self-directed, lifelong learning).
