MyKnowledgeMap rolls out e-portfolio learning at first human capital technology summit

York, UKLearning NewsMyKnowledgeMap

Educators, trainers, human resource managers and technologists from 35 countries will preview an innovative e-portfolio solution from UK-based learning technology provider MyKnowledgeMap (MKM) at the first Human Capital and Social Innovation Technology Summit (HCSIT) in Maastricht, Holland, 16th- 19th October 2007.

New Multi-Port from MKM is a flexible e-portfolio designed to easily manage all aspects of assessment and evidence-based reflective learning.

Modular in design, Multiport can be extended and customised to provide the features required of its user’s curriculum - from formal competency-based assessments to online spaces where learners can reflect informally on their experiences.

The product suite constitutes three core elements, targeted to different assessment styles and learning methods that work seamlessly together or stand-alone.

Thought-Port is a blog-like reflection space for learners to keep a log of their learning and experiences, chat about them with other centre members, and map experiences against a qualification framework.

Skills-Port enables learners to manage formal assessments. Evidence of learning can be mapped to structured requirements, whether NVQ, a Foundation Degree, or a particular set of work-based competencies.

Centre-Port offers remote tutor and assessor support, online, allowing staff to keep in touch with learners whether in or remote from the workplace.

Unique in Europe, HCSIT connects ideas, people and organisations in the field of digital technologies and human capital and takes place in conjunction with ePortfolio 2007, the key international event for the growing community of e-portfolio professionals - and now in its fifth year.

MKM is a silver sponsor of both events, expected to attract over 500 decision-makers from human resource, employment and industry sectors, education and training sector, as well as public sector bodies.
