Development and use of a Digital Portfolio

In the vision on learning and teaching of the Saxion Schools of Higher Education, the digital portfolio (DPF) of the Digital University is a tool for students for active learning. It supports them to document their professional growth, to reflect on this growth and to send it to their peers and teachers to assess it.

After a short introduction in the functions of the tool, the participants can make their own DPF. In the discussion the focus will be on the integration in the curriculum.

I promised you some urls. Here they are.
