Week 2 - Objectives
A) Brief presentation of ePortfolio examples you have brought with you | (approx. 25 minutes)
Welcome to the second content week! After you were able to gain a basic understanding of the ePortfolio learning method last week and determined a rough interest in the topic you will deepen this together today. Please take a closer look at some examples of ePortfolios and introduce them to each other in a circle. Pay special attention to similarities or differences between the examples. You are welcome to write down a short list of criteria that are recurring in the examples or that are very individual to give you further orientation.
B) Limit the possible topic interest for the ePortfolio and clarify motivation (Why?) | (approx. 25 minutes)
Now please introduce each other your topic of interest about which you would like to build your ePortfolio and why it is so exciting or relevant for you. We would also like you to give your first feedback on this.
C) Define the objective(s) of the ePortfolio and whom I want to reach (target group(s)) | (approx. 10 minutes)
At the end of the session think about a first possible objective for the ePortfolio and whom you want to reach first. Of course this may change or expand over time.
Basic kata for this week (approx. 1 hour): Out of the current state please formulate your detailed ePortfolio topic of interest / subject, the main target group and a central goal of the ePortfolio.
Example for orientation: "I would like to create an environment in which I can develop and document my personal learning steps on the topic of artificial intelligence and make them available to the community. Above all, I would like to inspire other interested parties for this field of interest and, if possible, enter into an exchange with experts"
Advanced kata (approx. 1 hour): Formulate in-depth learning goals or sub-goals and carry out a small target group analysis in order to be able to address different groups more effectively if necessary.
If applicable assistance with target group analysis and formulation of learning objectives - Formulating core questions
Week 3 - Structuring
D) Present the topic interest, motivation, objective(s) and target group(s) to each other | (approx. 20 minutes)
This week you are about to complete all basic, content related requirements for the start of the ePortfolio. So this is the first important milestone before we start selecting the suitable online tool and the first release. Today take turns introducing your topics of interest / subjects to the circle and describe the target group and goal(s) you want to reach with your ePortfolio.
E) Taking and giving feedback | (approx. 20 minutes)
For the others in the circle it is important to listen proactively to the presenter and to give constructive feedback. Ideally, this feedback should be documented immediately and appropriately so that it can be used for the fine-tuning.
F) How do I prospectively structure my possible weekly activities in my ePortfolio? | (approx. 20 minutes)
Finally think about together in the circle whether and how you can bring a certain regularity towards the management of an ePortfolio. Here, for example, it makes sense to think about the frequency with which contributions are planned, created and published, which formats you want to try out, whether you want to create a so-called contribution backlog (list of possible content that can be considered for contributions) and how this can look like.
Basic kata for this week (about 1 hour):
Based on the feedback received from the others develop your topic of interest / subject further and refine the description of the objectives.
Advanced kata "Having the end in mind" (approx. 1 hour)
Think about how the concrete end result after the 12 weeks of the circle might look like? Sketch it out briefly, even if there is only a vague picture of this result. Use this image in the coming weeks to refine, add and change it. That way you can better reflect later on where you are and what you still want to achieve.
Video kata (approx. 1 hour):
Create a small video podcast sequence in which you describe the topic interest and the objectives of the ePortfolio in order to arouse the interest of your target group later.
