An overview of why our community is developing Sakai 3 and how Sakai 3 will be different than any other online learning platform.
Join your peers and neighbors on Friday, April 2 to learn more about how California institutions are using Sakai, the open-source collaboration and learning environment. Hosted on the UC Davis campus, this open, no-cost forum will give you a chance to meet a wide variety of people in the Sakai community, including longtime members and newcomers. Ask questions, share best practices, compare technologies and pedagogies, and leverage the benefits of this vibrant open source community.
Date: Friday, April 2, 2010
Time: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM
Location: UC Davis Campus
In the pre-meeting symposium, participants will contribute to the national dialogue about the need for high quality measurement of student learning through multiple expert assessments of the quality of student work rather than standardized testing. They will explore in depth the potential of e-portfolios as well as the barriers to their widespread adoption.
This symposium grows out of the work of AAC&U’s VALUE Project (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education). VALUE provides national leadership for new ways of thinking about assessment.
An overview of different portfolio technologies in use today and guidance on the pros and cons of different approaches. Think through how to match your portfolio goals with available technologies.
As OSP 2.1 and 2.2 make full integration with Sakai a reality, the Open Source Portfolio (OSP) community faces a crossroads. In this session, options will be presented for further intergrating our community with the Sakai community. In addition, the direction of the development work that lies ahead will be discussed and plans will be proposed. Join us for this vital conversation as we shape the future of OSP development.
With co-presenters, Chris Coppola, Jay Fern, Wende Morgaine.
Interested in user experience and online pedagogy? Learn how you can benefit from and contribute to two new efforts to share best practices across open source projects: The Fluid Project's Open Source Design Pattern Library and OpenedPractices.org, a community of practice for teaching and learning with open/community-source tools.
With co-presenter, Allison Bloodworth.
Explore the varied uses of portfolios (from institutional assessment to achieving learning goals to personal presentations), recieve a tour of several OSP implementations, and gain a detailed overview of the functionality of each component of OSP. The session will begin with an overview of the goals and motivations universities have for using portfolios, and include examples of different types of portfolios implemented at various institutions.
Does your institution need to do program assessment? Are you looking for better information than you can get from surveys and final grades? Attend this session for a step by step guide to do program assessment with portfolios (a process used at Portland State University for over 12 years.)
With co-presenter, Wende Morgaine.
You've enabled Open Source Portfolio tools in your version of Sakai—now what? This session will walk you through a step-by-step process for working with faculty and administrators to identify the goals, proficiency measurements, and reflection questions that will make a working matrix for your program.
With co-presenter, Wende Morgaine.
