EPEPLA Workshop: E-Portfolio Evolution Powered by Language Analysis

A Workshop at the DELFI 2024 September 9-11, 2024, Hochschule Fulda, University of Applied Sciences https://aisop.de/EPEPLA/

Submission deadline: June 10, 2024

For decades, digital portfolios have offered a strongly personalised way of assessing learning outcomes, be that in the artistic, technical, or even literary domains. They give the opportunity for learners to frame their knowledge close to their real world, thus reaching deep learning effects through reflection.

The growing availability of tools that can analyse texts has opened new possibilities to assess, navigate, and revisit e-portfolios which, nowadays, are mostly web-based: Students can receive feedback on where to deepen, on language to adjust, on degrees of appropriation or reflective generalisation to render in their portfolios.

Such automated feedback, which is based on readily available general chat systems, on external services, on self built text models, or on simple statistical evaluations can support educators assessing the competencies evidenced in portfolios. The feedback can also invite students to continuously review their work and improve on it. The perspectives open brilliant avenues for students to become more confident in their writing and reflection as they gain more practice through consistent feedback. These new possibilities lead the way to more dynamic and more creative writing and reading processes, for both learners and educators.

Call for submissions

We invite submissions that depict experiences, tools, expectations, or methodologies with analysis tools of e-portfolios and, broader, that sketch the evolution of this modern assessment tool.

The submissions should sketch the didactical settings employed, the type of portfolios obtained and analysed as well as the technology proposed to support the pedagogical process effectively.
