Wednesday, October 16, 2019

The CIECT Instructional Design (ID) team designed and facilitated 28 workshops which offered training on eTools, assessments and the design and development of an ePortfolio for teaching-and-learning.

The eTools and Assessment workshop enables participants to create a structured online environment for blended and distance teaching-and-learning practices. Furthermore, participants are able to design relevant assessment activities related to the discipline. Nineteen workshops were conducted between January and July 2019 at the CIECT Training lab with a total of ninety-six participants who were trained.

The Design and Develop an ePortfolio workshop highlights the importance of creating an ePortfolio to support and demonstrate teaching-and-learning practices. Nine workshops were conducted for the period January to July 2019 which, eighteen staff members attended. Additionally, many staff members contact the CIECT team when they have to create ePortfolios for promotional purposes.

Participants provided the following feedback on their experiences, application and support:

This workshop exceeded my expectations and was very beneficial to me and my department as I will be presenting back to them on how we can use this.

It was a very insightful experience. The hands on was really helpful with all the most used etools covered. Time was also efficient for all the etools to discuss. Knowing that one-one- training is possible, is good.

The workshop was very useful, the presenter did an excellent job. The questions raised from the group helped clarity much. The presenter was willing to diverge slightly from the material to answer questions that were not strictly part of the presentation and it was much appreciated.

The workshop was very interactive and informative. The facilitator was patient, helpful and very knowledgeable.

I found this workshop very informative. It taught me to create/design an ePortfolio and also how to use the platforms on Google more effectively.

It did meet my expectations. I was able to set the framework for creating a professional portfolio for promotion. Now I know how to create it and how to make it look professional and impressive.
