This e-Portfolio on Padlet is made for my studies of Digitally Competent Educators -programme (15 ECTS), coordinated by University of Jyväskylä. The programme includes three modules:

1.  Introduction to Digital Competences for Educators
2. Teaching and Learning with Digital Resources
3. Facilitating and Assessing Learners' Digital Competencies

This e-Portfolio follows my learning journey of the module 3. Welcome to read about my learning process! You can leave comments and give reactions.

With Autumn greetings,
Sanna

I made the video using PowerPoint. In video editor I added the background music.

My learning goals for this module are these:

1. understanding the basics of how to use digital tools with learners in order to enhance their learning process and digital competencies.

2. applying this knowledge to my own work, since I'm not a teacher, but organize as a training speacialist education for professionals in social and health care sector. This goal, I think, will come in time through working and experiments.

We studied the concepts concerning digital assessment.

Here's the three key ideas I identified of the four assessment strategies.

I did this by Power Point and took a screen shot (PNG)

Week 3 Infographic of rubrics made by me

# data[].attributes.body
I made my infographic with Canva. I chose one of the ready Infographic-templates and edited it a bit.

My infographic consists of the basic ideas of rubrics. I didn't add any visual examples of rubrics, because I introduce an example of my own in my next post.

Week 3 A rubric made for online course "ABC of making an online course"

# data[].attributes.body
This is a holistic rubric. I've designed to use Moodle's rubric with advanced grading method. This rubric has three stages of assessment. Learner does this final assignment where she/he presents and applies the learning about the matter. This rubric is to be seen on the course for the learner from the beginning.

I made this with MS Word and took a screenshot (PNG).

Providing feedback to learners - a group discussion

Providing feedback to learners - a group discussion

# data[].attributes.body
This week we discussed about providing feedback to learners. Especially collaboration in mind. In my group we chose Elke’s rubric for the discussion. Her rubric is designed to give feedback to writers of Wiki articles. Feedback is given by the readers (peers) and the teacher/Wiki Team.

Wiki was a new platform for me, though I've heard about it. We didn't choose to use any other platform for giving feedback to writers since feedback by the peers can be given in the same platform.

In Wiki feedback can be giving by the readers through comments and discussion in various ways: in text, video, screen-cast or even uploading files.

Through comments and discussions the writer gets feedback from the readers but as well from the teacher/Wiki team (editors). With feedback the writer can improve the writings skills. The writer can make changes to their article based on the feedback.

The readers or peers giving comments and feedback engages them into the issues written. Readers don't give grades as a feedback. Everyone can see the feedback and discussions.

Providing feedback doesn't always need other platform. Like with Wiki, it has comments and discussion forum to share ideas and feedback with writers and readers. It's a great way to engage each other and foster collaboration.

Week 6 Rubric to evaluate the credibility of information about accessibility

Justification of my choices

I chose these contents in my rubric because it is important to use accurate information about accessibility found online.

We have many organizations (e.g. Celia, Regional State Administrative Agency) in my country who give guidelines about accessibility. Then there are educational organizations and organizations World Wide and personal blogs giving tips and advice.

I made this with MS Word and took a screenshot (PNG).

This task was made to develop learners' digital competencies. This combines searching information on web and sharing the findings with colleagues on Microsoft OneDrive on Microsoft Teams. Learners rehearse sharing a document with a link.

I took part of this module since I wanted to learn more about facilitating and assessing learner’s digital competence.

I also wanted to practice my English skills, and this occurred actually pretty good. In group sessions speaking English was tough at first, because I haven’t spoken English regularly. Written English came easily. I liked that we had diversity on this module: students were from different countries and nationalities.

I got more knowledge about giving feedback to learners and choosing the assessment strategies. I’ve wondered quite sometime now, why learners usually must return their assignments on text-form. Why couldn’t they choose the form (and platform) themselves? Videos, pictures, infographics, you name it!

I’ve also wondered why many teachers use summative assessment. Now I understand better and can explain why to use formative assessment. Formative assessment is quite easy to apply on online learning if you explore the digital tools and their possibilities!

I liked that this module was online, and we had time-schedules to follow. I also liked that the modules and their contents were closed from us, but we could see the themes ahead. This gave the opportunity to focus on just one topic and not checking everything at once. I’m not saying I would’ve done all the assignments immediately :D

Learning new digital tools was fun. I got familiar with Padlet again after many years and used it for my e-Portfolio platform. Didn’t remember how easy and many-sided it was! I also fell in love with infographics and explored Canva’s (which I’ve used only for CV-documents) new possibilities.

I took all the modules of the Digitally Competent Educators -programme at once, and though it was tough three months, I enjoyed it.
