E-portfolios for Meaningful Learning and Automated Positioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
When it comes to lifelong learning and e-learning, we are steadily moving towards distributed and self-organized networks where multiple content providers offer parts and pieces, not complete vertical systems. This spurs development of new methods and techniques to position learners in these networks. Positioning requires that characteristics of the learner are mapped onto characteristics of learning materials and curricula. In this paper we describe BrainBank Learning, a web application for construction of individual topic maps as a mean for learning, and discuss the potential of such knowledge maps for automated computer-supported positioning. We also present current work on developing, evaluating and utilizing topic maps-based applications to support meaningful learning and deeper understanding.

متن کاملE-Portfolios for Integrated Reflection
E-portfolios have been widely used in the education community. Currently, e-portfolios are viewed mostly as a tool of assessment and showcase, but less as a tool of active learning. This paper proposes an ontological model that specifies a generic organizational structure of eportfolios in the integrated reflection context. An example of design artifact of ontology of eportfolios is used to ill...
