Well I have been on to PebblePad this morning and it appears that my hounding of students is having a positive effect - there are still two participants who have not posted assets to the Gateway but the assets that have been populated are very interesting - I think the webfolios will be rich in content so thats good!
I have been involved in a HEA bid on synthesising evidence based practice to dissmeninate good practice across the sector which has been really good and have reflected on my involvement in that and posted that to my asset store - so I am practicising what I preach and continuing to populate stuff so that I can create an e-portfolio as well....
Speaking of e-portfolios - I came across a really interesting link on the ELESIG website http://ncepr.org/ - national collation for electronic portfolio research. These are American studies but still have some relevance.
http://ncepr.org/connectionsJul08.pdf- has some stuff on PebblePad as an e-portfolio system and its uses.
Ok - well, might be a bit quiet on this front for a few weeks as I prepare for the torrent of assessents and marking over the next month or so!

Busy, Busy, Busy!
Ok - well I have sort of given up hounding students until the New year because I have so much stuff on - I dont know if its cause I work at 100mph but I have been a bit frustrated by the fact that students arent publishing stuff on an ongoing basis and am expecting that sometime before they start putting webfolios together there will be a flurry of activity - however, there are a few exceptions - namely Scott and Lisa who are publishing stuff incrementally..there are still some participants who have published nothing so far.
This week has been a significant week as I have submitted the module specification for the work based mobile module that I am designing for my PhD. The module will be offered across the Faculty and a cohort of students in Carnegie have already been identified to apply to do the module.
I have written the draft for the book chapter so am awaiting feedback on this as well - it has been really enjoyable to do and worthwhile as I have done an extensive literature review, conceptualised a model SLP (Situational Learner Pedgagogy) which I hope will be adopted by some practioners for work based mobile learning.
The ever-supportive Jayne Mothersdale has agreed that I can go on the next ALPs conference which falls on my birthday but nevermind - it will be really intesting... I am going to try and write a paper for the ALT journal and get some experience of being peer reviewed etc
PhD starts next month - unfortunately there has been crossed wires with my application form so I dont know who is supervising me or what is going to happen.
I have my PDP tomorrow and my CPD has to be submitted to ACCA soon! I am glad I am keeping an e-portfolio in PebblePad for myself. I have just spent 30 mins listening to a really interesting presentation on e-portfolios (see slideshow and videos relating to her project(s) in Aukland and Dubai on e-portfolios) http://www.slideshare.net/hazelowendmc/placeholder-2201865 - a lot of what Hazel Owen talked about is what I have tried to incorporate in my chapter and pedagogical underpinning to the module. However, she has made interesting cultural observations that may be a barrier to students choosing the module because of the personal e-portfolio and expectation that one is happy to talk about oneself. I am glad I have invited Dawn Leggott and Marie-Paul Sheard to be involved in the module design.
I am of course very tired and have put in a lot of additional hours this week - resource planning for this sort of thing is so difficult - I am glad it is another accountant's problem and not mine!
