Eportfolio & Digital Identity Montréal 2008
Following the success of the first international Francophone ePortfolio conference at Québec in April 2006, the organisers of ePortfolio Montréal 2008 have pleasure in inviting researchers, policy-makers, practitioners and solution providers in the field of learning technologies to submit their contributions to the 2nd Pan-American and Francophone ePortfolio conference that will take place at Concordia University on 5-7 May 2008. This year’s focus will be on ePortfolio and digital identity, exploring the link between the records and services that contribute to the emergence of a digital identity.

The conference is organised in partnership with the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP) at Concordia University, the Centre de recherche en informatique de Montréal (CRIM) and HR-XML Consortium. Tracks will be run in French and English. Presenters and authors are invited to submit an abstract of their contributions by 31 January 2008 on the following themes:
-
Lifelong learning and employability ePortfolios
-
Building systems of recognition and accreditation with ePortfolios
- Exploiting the full potential of digital identity
-
ePortfolio architectures and advanced technologies
-
Designing ePortfolio strategies within regions and sectors
-
Managing knowledge with ePortfolios
-
Organisational ePortfolios
I received an email from my colleague Eva Heinrich, from Massey University that EIfEL had the chance to welcome during a sabbatical year in France. Her email was about a research student who is looking for "requirements, proposal of new features of eP tools to support organisational learning."EIfEL has invited contributions on organisational ePortfolios for some time now. In the 2004 ePortfolio

The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (2)
In a previous post (The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (1)) I expressed the idea that a fully developed ePortfolio is in fact a digital identity and that most of the so called ePortfolios are little more than paperless portfolios. What I would like to do in this post is reflect on (some of) the consequences in terms of technologies and solutions and respond the the questions:

About ePortfolio standards (2) - Reflexion
I indicated in a previous post that although a number of actors are involved in the design of open standards, the mere implementation of open standards is not enough to ensure interoperability. Two systems can be based on the same 'base specification', yet be unable to exchange information. In order to solve the issue of information portability across systems using different specifications we

About ePortfolio standards (1) - a rapid state of art
I would like to take the opportunity of a colleague's request about ePortfolio standards and interoperability, to present EIfEL views on this issue.Today, even if few ePortfolio suppliers are engaged in the implementation of existing specifications, those doing it generally do so within the context of a specific community, using what is called application profiles, i.e. an adaptation of a base

The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (1)
It is now nearly 5 years since EIfEL, at the time of the first International ePortfolio Conference, launched the idea that “In 2010, every citizen will have an ePortfolio.” The intuition we had at the time was that the ePortfolio was much more than a mere paperless portfolio, and that its digital dimension was going to create a special object which would travel with us throughout our life, our
