Digital portfolios are “… student-owned dynamic digital workspaces wherein students can capture their learning and their ideas, access their collections of work, reflect on their learning, share it, set goals, seek feedback and showcase their learning and achievements.”
(NCCA, 2013)
Teachers appreciate how formative assessment and more particularly, formative feedback can happen as easily in the online space and the impact it has on moving the learner forward. This session will focus on formative feedback, the types of feedback and the resources available for providing formative feedback using digital portfolios.
