Dear Guests,

We are delighted to welcome you to CityU's 2010 ePortfolio Competition Award Ceremony. Many people

have been involved not only in putting this event together, but also in supporting the recent drive to

develop ePortfolios within City University. We owe our sincere gratitude to the teachers and sta� who have

been piloting ePortfolios in their courses/programmes and who, along with over a thousand students,

continue to provide us with valuable feedback, and to the members of sta�, alumni and professionals

outside the university who are creating their own portfolios as part of their professional development. We

would also like to warmly thank our student helpers, the competition judges, our research sta� on the

ePortfolio project team, the competition sponsors and, last but not least, the University senior

management for their support of the current and previous ePortfolio projects. Indeed, the promotion of

ePortfolios for learning is part of the University's Strategic Plan 2010-2015.

The ePortfolio is simply a tool; a tool for learning and self-development,

but its e�ectiveness for learning can only be realised through a shift in

perspective about what we believe constitutes e�ective teaching and

learning. This paradigm shift involves the adoption of an ePortfolio

pedagogy, or a set of alternative teaching and learning strategies. For

more than a decade now, the focus was on teacher control over the

technology to provide resources and to guide and assess student

learning. With appropriate strategies and genuine ePortfolio course

integration, all learners can now be empowered to plan, manage and

take control of their own learning and development, thus playing a more active and more e�ective role in

the whole learning process.

Inside this booklet you will �nd information about the di�erent types of ePortfolios, comments from the

judges and competition �nalists, and details about the CityU ePortfolio project. If you would like any further

information about ePortfolios for student learning or for your own professional development, please

contact any member of our ePortfolio team through our website at: http://www.cityu.edu.hk/edge/eportfolio.

We hope you enjoy the ceremony.

With best wishes,

Hokling Cheung and Dean Fisher

Page 5: ePortfolio Competition Award Ceremony Booklet

Dr. Paul Kam Shing SHIN"I enjoyed navigating through various showcases presented. Their work will no doubt be convincing evidence to document their continuing e�ort in achieving their goal of life-long learning. I will encourage my students to do the same."

Mr. Kwai Choi POON"I believe that ePortfolio is an essential tool for enhancing student learning, development and career preparation. I was excited and touched when viewing the ePortfolios as most of them really re�ect the developers’ fruitful life in university. Although I never met the participants before, I’m glad to share their happiness, achievements and dream by reviewing their ePortfolios!"

RundownA Selection of Judges’ Overall Comments

Dr. Andy Hau Ping CHAN"I think this competition is successful in the sense that it really provides an opportunity for the participants to experience a new way in communicating with their target audiences."

Dr. John Dit Sang HO"ePortfolio is clearly a versatile medium with which an author can cover a broad range of topics and reach a wide audience e�ciently."

Dr. Linda Chiu Han LAI"The portfolios I have rated high are those with clarity, purpose, and appropriate length and amount of details. Design is crucial - but good portfolios often have design that work for the purpose of the portfolio instead of standing out on its own right."

Dr. Annis Lai Chu FUNG"I �nd it very convenient and e�ective to introduce and promote oneself through ePortfolios. For academics, ... they provide an advanced platform for direct communication with our students as well as for promoting the most recent news to the public."

Ms. Valerie PICKARD"I use ePortfolios in my teaching because I see them as a way of encouraging students to collect, organise and re�ect on their work. I have also developed my own for learning and also for professional purposes. I �rmly believe that ePortfolios will become more important for students and teachers very quickly."

A learning and development ePortfolio is used to document, guide and advance learning over time. As MacDonald, Liu, Lowell, Tsai and Lohr (2004) argue: "Developing the electronic portfolio not only demonstrates past growth and learning, but also generates learning in and of itself." The ePortfolio is emerging as a catalyst encouraging individuals to take more control over their education and development. A learning and development ePortfolio, �rst and foremost, should facilitate students’ goal setting and action planning. The process of developing an ePortfolio appears to help students recognise what is lacking

in their university lives. Huang Huanting, a Year One student from the Department of Electronic Engineering says: “When I started creating my ePortfolio in the foundation year, I found there were not many things to put in my ePortfolio as I seldom joined in activities. Since then, I've tried to take part in some meaningful activities, which makes my life more colourful and contributes to my whole person development.” In a similar way, the second prize winner Morgan Aasdam, a PhD candidate from the School of

Creative Media, draws an analogy between ePortfolios and counseling: “When you talk to a counselor, what you have just said bounces back to you. It opens up oneself to understand the matter in a di�erent perspective. When I consider what to put in my learning ePortfolio, I write down my learning experiences, reorganise them, shu�e them around, I then realise I may want to do that!” Morgan explains how ePortfolios help him explore his potential and set new heights for learning. He believes that ePortfolios are bene�cial to many students as they help individuals to re�ect how they came to where they are, what they are doing now and where they are heading. If learning is a life-long process, the development of a learning ePortfolio should be life-long too. We are

delighted to know many of the competition participants are determined to continue developing their ePortfolios. Ni Chenying, a �rst year student from the Department of Computer Science, says: “During one's growth, there are too many things to remember. When developing an ePortfolio, one has a good chance to organise his/her gains and losses. My ePortfolio will always track my life.” The winner Nawaz Ali from the Department of Computer Science also con�rms this view: “I think

developing my ePortfolio is a life-long process. As I am enriching my knowledge day by day, my ePortfolio will also be updated regularly." Developing an ePortfolio should not be a last-minute “rush job” but something which is built up over many years, preferably starting at the beginning of college life, if not before. Why not give it a try? You may �nd ePortfolios are a useful tool for your studies!

Our current research suggests that of the various types of ePortfolios, students see most value in employment ePortfolios. Indeed, we believe that ePortfolios can help students develop a set of skills and abilities that are desirable for employment. Many competition participants see graduate ePortfolios as an e�ective tool for job hunting. Chapman Ho,

a �nal year student from the Department of Information Systems, says “After attending several recruitment talks, I �nd it is hard for ordinary students like me to stand out from the crowd. I think building a graduate ePortfolio that summarises my university life can be a good way to impress potential employers.” Andy Li, the third prize winner as well as a dedicated media artist, recalls his experience of getting his �rst freelance job three years ago: “I literally posted a CD ROM containing

my CV and designs to the company. During the interview, I was told that my application stood out from the rest as the others were all conventional-looking.” Andy tells us that the CD ROM was actually a simpli�ed version of a complete employment ePortfolio. Currently, Andy is using his ePortfolio to present his accomplishments and research interests to professors for his PhD application. Like a learning and development ePortfolio, a graduate/employment/showcase ePortfolio assists the

developer with goal setting and action planning. Dr. Will Ma, an alumnus of CityU’s College of Business and a �nalist of this competition, says that “every gap in the portfolio becomes a clear objective for my next goal which I need to plan action for right away.” Andy also elaborates: “When I look back, I am amazed how much work I have done in the past. I am also surprised how bad some of the work was,” he joked with a smile, “This process helps me to review and rethink my design. I am therefore motivated to aim higher.”

Last but not least, a graduate/employment/showcase ePortfolio provides a platform for professionals to showcase their expertise and achievements, and exchange ideas. The winner Siu Wai Hang from the School of Creative Media says: “An ePortfolio is a good platform to let people know more about my profession and experience.” Morgan Wong, whose ePortfolio wins the best design award in this competition and the bronze award in HKDA Design Awards 2009, con�rms: “I will keep updating my ePortfolio when I have more projects done. It is really a good platform to communicate with other professionals in the �eld.”

Professional & Teaching ePortfolios

ePortfolios can be used for more than learning or job hunting; they can also be dynamic developmental spaces representing one’s professional self. Indeed, ePortfolios are emerging as an attractive option for academics and professionals. A professional ePortfolio can function as an e�ective communication medium.

Nawaz Ali, a PhD candidate from the Department of Computer Science as well as the winner of this competition, is a career-minded and enthusiastic life-long learner. He came to Hong Kong six months ago in pursuit of knowledge enrichment. Nawaz regards the ePortfolio as an e�ective online platform that connects him with his students and employers during his sabbatical leave. “ePortfolios enable knowledge sharing and make networking possible,” says Nawaz, “My students can check out my research

publications in my ePortfolio, which may give them inspiration when developing new research directions. In addition, an ePortfolio is a communication medium to showcase my expertise to students who are interested in appointing me as their supervisor. Finally, an ePortfolio helps my employers to keep track of my progress in a timely manner." What works for Nawaz may also work for others. He therefore concludes: "I will encourage my students to use ePortfolios to enrich the process of knowledge building and aid them in their professional development." Like other types of ePortfolios, a professional ePortfolio requires regular updates. Morgan Aasdam, a PhD candidate from the School of Creative Media, says: “I have been keeping copies of my achievements over the past years. I suppose a review of the ePortfolio twice a year would be necessary." Developing a professional ePortfolio is not always about serious or dull work.

Eva Yeung, a PhD candidate from the Department of Applied Social Studies, illustrates her experience of making a digital story in her professional ePortfolio: “Constructing my digital autobiography is a fun experience. I really enjoyed writing my life story and spending a good amount of time going through pictures to decide which ones would best represent the events that were most signi�cant to me.”

When creating an ePortfolio, developers have an opportunity to use artistic and technical skills to design and construct the electronic interface. Good design makes viewing easy and pleasant and helps the ePortfolio developer create a good impression. As the winner Morgan Wong says: "The visual style of my portfolio increases audience's interest in looking for more textual information in my ePortfolio." Judges think that Morgan Wong's ePortfolio is "the most technically sophisticated and visually attractive. The ePortfolio itself looks like a work of art." Morgan Aasdam's ePortfolio also stands out as he "has chosen a speci�c platform to suit the purpose of his ePortfolio. His personality emerges from the very individual design". Siu Wai Hang's ePortfolio has "good layout with plenty of white space, and good links between pictures and text." Good design integrates both aesthetic ideas and technical skills to convey a clearer message.

Re�ection is an active thinking process which can take place during and after an experience. It is an approach that requires the learner to examine and explore an experience in greater depth. It engages one in deep thinking about one's actions, reactions, values, beliefs and so forth.

ePortfolios play a crucial role in a re�ective learning cycle by encouraging students to re�ect on their learning and development. What makes Karen's ePorto�io di�erent from all the others is that "the re�ection is organised and easy to follow." According to the judges, "there is a constant attempt to re�ect, which evidences Karen’s learning."

ePortfolios can become an integral part of the learning cycle providing the space in which students relate goals and action plans to course work and assignments. In this

cycle, re�ection aids the transition from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation by forcing us to abandon, change or continue certain attitudes, practices or beliefs.

REFLECTION

Best Digital Story

Winner

12

"An ePortfolio is a purposeful collection of work that demonstrates e�ort, progress and achievement over time, stored in an electronic container. In this context and in terms of the technology, a digital story is a digital video clip, told in the author's own voice, illustrated mostly with still images, with an optional music track added for emotional e�ect. Rhetorically, a digital story is a personal narrative that may show the author’s identity: strengths, weaknesses, achievements, disappointments, learning experiences, passions, and hopes for the future; in other words: re�ection."

—— Helen Barrett 2006

Page 15: ePortfolio Competition Award Ceremony Booklet

G. G. Md. NAWAZ ALI - Winner“A well-designed and interesting ePortfolio packed with details and visually-attractive materials, woven together by thoughtful re�ections and commentary.”“The best ePortfolio overall in terms of all criteria.”

Jason Kai Yan LI - Finalist“An interesting ePortfolio documenting the author's research on terrorism, using multimedia as a means of expressing his views. There is an element of re�ection on what he has experienced in the learning process, but the readability of the ePortfolio is reduced by grammatical errors and di�erences in font size in the text. An ePortfolio showing much e�ort invested by the author! “”Layout design is good; evidence of work is good.”

Yvonne Chenying NI - Finalist“It is easy to read and understand the author's learning activities. The author used multimedia to showcase her work, which is �ne. However, it would even be better if there is some background information or a brief introduction on what these pieces of work are all about. The layout of the ePortfolio is easy to follow. “”The layout design is very good; the video is so sweet! Not enough learning re�ection.”

Pony Yifei LUO & Daisy Wanying CHEN - Finalists“There is not much evidence on how spoken English can be improved through the documentary information contained in the ePortfolio. The sole reliance on Wikipedia as a source of checking on de�nitions of words or terms may not be the best approach. Try to embrace di�erent and more credible sources, such as online dictionaries. There is no re�ection to show if both authors really created fun from the pursuit of studying English. All in all, a good attempt with a creative design of the layout to enhance readability. “

Naomi Mei Lei YAU - Finalist“It’s a pity that parts of the ePortfolio are not complete. Otherwise this is a lively and highly readable ePortfolio which perhaps provides an insight into the personality of the creator.”

Owen Jiecheng YIN - 3rd Prize“A detailed documentation of the author's participation in university activities during his study, using multimedia and text. The music selected is also pleasing and appropriate. The captions on the videos are very helpful to reveal what the author really wants to convey and are important evidence for linking his participatory e�ect and self re�ection. All in all, a good e�ort.”“Very informative website.”

Cherry Huanting HUANG - Finalist“A very detailed ePortfolio documenting the author's learning experience and development of various life skills. The presentation of multimedia or photos is accompanied by a brief introduction, which makes it easy for readers to capture what the author would like to convey. There is much evidence from the author's work to showcase her participation in various learning activities. The choice of music for the video is very pleasing. ” “Needs more re�ection in showcase section; Good presentation by using multimedia tools.”

Morgan AASDAM - 2nd Prize“The ePortfolio is interestingly laid out, easy to read, and to the point.”“Good web design.”

Wai Hang SIU - Winner“The presentation is excellent, but lacks re�ection and academic background.”“Visually interesting, pleasant layout design, purpose-based organization and selection of material, strong evidence of learning outcome.”

Dr. Will Wai Kit MA - Finalist“Well prepared and presented. Deeper thought and more re�ection will further enhance the quality.”

Chapman Hon Leung HO - Finalist“Manages to draw attention to his most outstanding area to his most outsanding area; su�cient angles to describe his own strengths, objectives and presentation training”“Clear and comprehensive, but not attractive enough.”

Morgan Wing Fat WONG - Finalist"The most technically sophisticated and visually attractive. The ePortfolio itself is like a work of art."“Purposes of the ePortfolio are not well explained. More personal description is needed.”

Jason Ho Kwong OR - Finalist“Well prepared and presented.”

Andy Wing Ho LI - 3rd Prize“Very well prepared and presented.”

Terence Wai Kuen LAI - Finalist“Well prepared and presented. Deeper thought and more re�ection will further enhance the quality.”

G. G. Md. NAWAZ ALI - 2nd Prize“This ePortfolio is well prepared, very informative, but too crowded.”“A bit verbose, content is repetitive. Clear organization and strong highlight of one's value and career objectives. For a Ph.D. candidate, I would expect to see a stronger (self-)analytical statement about one's own �eld of scienti�c expertise. This ePortfolio has convinced me that the author is a good person and good citizen, but not enough as a scientist who wants to build the world's future.”

Page 17: ePortfolio Competition Award Ceremony Booklet

G. G. Md. NAWAZ ALI - Winner“Very creative and re�ective, good technical skills and creative layout, many serious grammatical errors.”

Charles Kei Fung LEE“Very �ne and detailed introduction with some evidence found in this ePortfolio.”

Eva Fung Ching YEUNG - Finalist“Very creative and re�ective; still, lots of grammatical errors.”

Feng ZHEN - Finalists“Detailed descriptions of self-introduction, but there is a lack of evidence to support the showcase section.”“Some good ideas, but poor grammar.”

Karen Ying KWOK - Finalist“Some pictures and presentations are nice, but more evidence and further support are recommended to include in the ePortfolio.”

David Woo - 3rd Prize"With su�cient evidence to support his performance and there is a well-structured presentation in the ePortfolio.”“Very impressive evidence of teaching achievements but little re�ection.”

David Woo - Finalist“Some good re�ection and evidence of professional development”“The visual representation of his teaching philosophy are not clear, more descriptions should be added next to the pictures. The impression of the ePortfolio is that it is incomplete.”

Morgan AASDAM - 2nd Prize“Attractive and interesting presentation with di�erent ways to introduce himself in this ePortfolio.”“I can see his technical expertise. He has created some interesting and creative content, but I found it very di�cult to decide where to go or what I expect to see.”

Emily Sze Man CHEN - Finalist“Some re�ection, although does not quite go deep enough.”

Yennis Yuen Yan NG - Winner“Ng Yuen Yan's digital story is the best of all. She narrated the story of her internship experience herself. Both the pictures and the content are relevant and the �ow of the story is smooth. Her re�ection on the experience is also included. The minor defect is the repetition of images.”

Abel Pu Jie MA - Finalist“Begins really well and looks like he could be a potential winner of this category, but there is no re�ection in the Showcase area because he has not linked his re�ection in the earlier parts to the evidence in the showcase.”

Wai Hang SIU - Finalist"Good layout with plenty of white space, good links between pictures and text."

Karen Ying KWOK - Winner“What makes this portfolio di�erent from all the others is that the re�ection is organized and easy to follow. It doesn’t always link back logically to her summary and the re�ection could be deeper, but there is a constant attempt to re�ect, which evidences Karen’s learning.”

Morgan Wing Fat WONG - Winner"The most technically sophisticated and visually attractive. The ePortfolio itself looks like a work of art."

ePortfolios for All: A Roadmap for Success“ePortfolios for All: A Roadmap for Success” is a university-wide institutional project co-organised by the O�ce of Education Development and General Education (EDGE), formerly known as the Education Development O�ce (EDO), and the English Language Centre (ELC). It is an extension of the project, "English Language Portfolios" and later on "Electronic Learning Portfolios" started in 2005 and 2007 respectively. These earlier projects helped identify the vast potential of ePortfolios in teaching and learning enhancement. E�ective pedagogical strategies and support services were also identi�ed. The current project aims to further explore the uses of ePortfolios for learning, development and eventually employability, and to promote and lay the foundations for an institutional ePortfolio culture and implementation among all students, sta� and alumni.

Project work and activities:

Develop aids for ePortfolio developers. These include: templates for course speci�c, professional and career ePortfolios a roadmap for academic and personal development a customisable generic structure Conduct workshops and seminars covering ePortfolio concepts, pedagogies and technical skills Collaborate with faculty members and course lecturers to integrate ePortfolios into the curriculum Encourage student/teacher/alumni "celebrities" to create ePortfolios and to provide feedback on their

experience Organise ePortfolio competitions and award presentation ceremonies Produce various publications such as lea�ets, booklets, user guides and websites Network with local and international experts Conduct research to investigate 1) the impact of ePortfolios on learning and employability; 2) ePortfolio

pedagogies and technologies; and 3) institution-wide implementation strategies including a generic structure, templates and a road map for university success

Present research �ndings internally and at international conferences.
