Riassunto

The use of digital technology to capture evidence of learning has been an area of rapid development recently, both in terms of the devices (such as smartphones and tablet computers) and the range of e-portfolios that have become available. Such a rapid pace of change is a major challenge to established practice in assessing learning, which can be daunting for tutors and assessors, even those who have sought to embrace technology in their practice. This book provides straightforward practical advice on how to use digital technology confidently and effectively to gather, store, and report evidence of learning. It will be highly valuable to any adult learning practitioner or manager involved in collecting evidence, either for accredited programs (such as apprenticeships) or for non-accredited programs. The book explains how to use the latest hardware and online systems, such as e-portfolios. It also describes how technology is now helping adult educators to move away from the 'tick-box culture' towards broader and more holistic methods of recording learners' achievements. It will be of particular interest to: teachers/tutors delivering programs of adult learning in further and higher education that require collection of evidence for accreditation * trainers/managers working with apprentices * trainee teachers/tutors * those delivering and managing professional training programs with accreditation * practitioners and managers in adult and community learning. *** "[recommended] as a suitable reference tool for the non-technical educator, learner, or assessor seeking to move from old paper-and-pen methods to contemporary digital options. As Loane demonstrates, the benefits of embracing technology in learning far outweigh the hindrance of changing former traditional methods." - Reflective Teaching, Wabash Center, 3/26/2015 [Subject: Adult Education, Digital Technology, Learning Assessment]
