The move towards personalised learning and a desire to harness the available tools and technologies to support learning and engage learners have raised the profile of the ePortfolio and the ePortfolio process.

The ePortfolio process supports reflective, personalised learning and creates its own set of challenges and training needs for teachers and trainers. Teachers and trainers who will be working with learners who will themselves be using ePortfolios.

The Mosep tutorials have been designed to support this training need. They take the form of Open Learning materials and activities that can support either face to face, blended learning or on-line delivery. The tutorials concentrate on the learning and development processes and not on specific ePortfolio tools.

The tutorials employ a variety of methods including:
  • Internet based activities
  • Presentations and video podcasts
  • Group work, discussions and peer review for face to face delivery
  • Online collaboration and networking for individual study
The Mosep tutorials are freely available to anyone who wants to use them. They have been designed to be either used as they are, or adapted and customised to meet individual training needs. They are stored in a Wiki that allows teachers or trainers to select the individual activities or activities that they need, and to assemble them into the sequence that meets thir learners' specific training needs. In this way, they are able to customise their courses before make available to their trainees.

The MOSEP Wiki can help you as teachers or trainers to design and resource any course that you might want for introducing the e-portfolio process to your learners. With any new course, once you have decided on what it is that you want to introduce, in terms of a particular topic, you will probably go through a common process:
  • You will search for or identify teaching resources that you already have or that are available to you;
  • You will decide on and select what is fit or appropriate for your purpose;
  • You will structure, group and organise the resources into a sequence appropriate for your learners and your chosen delivery method;
  • You will create and add any specific content that you need;
  • You will finally package the course materials up ready for delivery.
