  25 minutes

 

Step 2: Preparing Your Project Portfolio Presentation

Throughout this course, you have concentrated on developing the individual components of your portfolio. Your showcase will focus on your portfolio as a whole. Keep this “big picture” in mind as you finalize your Portfolio for the showcase.

You showcase your Project Portfolio with a wiki. One of the advantages of facilitating a showcase through a wiki is that portfolio files are easily accessible to participants during the showcase and after the course. Having the files online will also make it easy to share the Project Portfolios with other interested parties.

  1. Go to the wiki site provided by your facilitator and log on.

  2. Create your wiki showcase page with your name, the name of your project, and any other introductory information.

  3. On your wiki showcase page, describe how you addressed the following traits from the Portfolio Rubric:

    • Instructional design
      • Addresses assessment standards and project goals
      • Addresses 21st Century skills
      • Incorporates Curriculum-Framing Questions (CFQs)
      • Uses project approaches
      • Addresses learner differences

    • ICT integration
      • Supports and enhances learning
      • Supports 21st Century skills
      • Meets learner and classroom needs

    • Assessment strategies
      • Address assessment standards and project goals
      • Are learner-centred
      • Are varied and ongoing

  4. Upload the following components to the wiki:

    • Project Plan
    • Assessment of your learner sample
    • Learner sample
    • Either a learner support or facilitation resource
    • Any other documents you would like to share

  5. Collect feedback on your Project Portfolio using one of the following options. Ask participants to:

    • Provide feedback on a subpage of your wiki
    • Use the wiki’s commenting feature to provide feedback
    • E-mail feedback forms to you
    • Upload feedback forms to your wiki
    • Fill out printed forms by hand
    • Respond to a special blog created by you. If you choose to ask for feedback through a blog, you need to complete these steps now:
      • Create a blog entry for your showcase. If you wish, copy the text from the Showcase Feedback Form as a prompt for your colleagues’ feedback.
      • Create links between your wiki and your blog to facilitate feedback.

  6. Make sure you clearly specify your preference for receiving feedback on your Project Portfolio wiki page.
