Call for Proposals: AAEEBL ePortfolio Review (AePR) – Close 31 August
This issue of the AAEEBL ePortfolio Review (AePR) is dedicated to articles on the 2023 AAEEBL Annual Conference theme of ePortfolio Learning in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Fostering Authentic Assessment Through Inclusive Pedagogies and Design Justice.
However, other articles will be reviewed and may be included in the upcoming edition – Submission due date is 31 August (North American time) – https://airtable.com/shrggaDXx7y7bYKez
The COVID-19 pandemic prompted (or forced) many of us in the ePortfolio community to rethink how we design ePortfolio implementations so as to center those who are often marginalized. Since then, the ongoing ramifications of post-pandemic life as well as new opportunities for rethinking pedagogical practices such as the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) require that we remain vigilant in designing ePortfolio opportunities that foster equity and inclusion while also promoting engagement, authentic learning, and academic integrity. Now more than ever, changes in enrollments and budgets demand that we articulate the value and impact of ePortfolios to institutional and community stakeholders.
AAEEBL are especially looking for articles that explore these areas:
- Authentic assessment: How can authentic assessment strategies center marginalized voices, e.g. in institutional assessment and accreditation efforts, effective course and program design?
- Digital tools, including AI: How can portfolio practice give students the critical digital literacies to navigate present and emerging digital tools in ways that complement and extend their learning, productivity, and well-being? How does technology expand and / or constrain the scope of our vision for ePortfolios that are designed with justice in mind?
- Design justice: How can portfolio designs be justice oriented, and how can these designs improve and enhance higher education? How should we consider the principles of design when implementing ePortfolios?
- Effective implementation frameworks: How can applying an effective implementation framework using a stakeholder approach and other high impact practices sustain, heal, and empower all members of our community? How can we most effectively promote equity, access, inclusion, and belonging through ePortfolio implementations? What practices (e.g. pedagogies, integrations, assessments, reflections, showcases, professional development) have proven to be successful in creating authentic assessments?

Some other great eportfolio news and resources
Check out this other great eportfolio news and resources:
Michael Sankey crunched the numbers on a recent benchmarking activity on ePortfolio use at Australasian Universities, conducted by ACODE Australasia. It shows the change in ePortfolio tools used over the last 6 years. Of note, in 2017, 7 institutions had no formal ePortfolio system, that is no-longer the case, as now all institutions support some form of system and some institutions are now formally supporting the use of two tools.

Marty Sison and the crew from the Digital Learning Design Team at Charles Darwin University will be running a Workshop at the forthcoming Eportfolio Forum in Darwin, partly based around this great resource on Accessibility at PebblePad using an PebblePad portfolio and with some additional resources created by CDU.
