This typically consists of:
- Thoughts about your progress
- What you know and want to know
- Lessons that you have learnt
- How you feel about the process, the group, the tutor
- Evidence of your reflection of your learning and how you could change as a result
The e-diary is never shared with your group. It is an assessment requirement to complete the e-diary. Note that, depending on your course and location, the e-diary could either be a word processor document template or some other form of reflection such as a blog.
portfolio = a collection documents = used for assessmentThis typically consists of documents such as (but not limited to):
- e-diary (if reflection is part of the assessment criteria)
- collabroation log
- Copies of e-mail
- that you send
- that you receive
- Evidence of online collaboration
- Copies of e-mail
- Tasks
- Completed templates as required in specific modules
- PowerPoint slide shows as required in specific modules
- Completed questionnaires as required in specific modules
- Completed website evaluation forms as required in specific modules
- Planning documents
- i.e. all the documents you are required to generate during each module
During many activities you are asked to share individual documents with your group. Feedback from your group could help to improve your document. You may want to create an electronic folder, in which you store all your tasks, e-mail correspondence, notes and planning documents etc. This would be a portfolio of all your work in this module. If you do not work on a single computer then you should save your portfolio of work on disk or, if you have Internet access, use an online file storage facility such as Windows Live Skydrive (http://skydrive.live.com) or Box.net (http://wwwbox.net). You may also want to keep a hardcopy file as a record of your portfolio. If your disks become corrupted (this happens) you are responsible for providing alternative evidence of your learning. Without this evidence you cannot be assessed.
