The 10th ePortfolio and Identity conference, a 3 day event, is being held in London at the Institute of Engineers and Technologists (IET) at Savoy Place from the 9th-11th July.
The conference is open for registrations and contributions – follow this link for more information and to sign up.
There’s an early bird discount for registrations booked and paid for before 15th May 2012.
If you’re up for some late night keynote action (if you’re in European timezones) have a look at Alison Miller’s post on the details for the ePortfolios Australia 2011 conference.
The event is on the 17th-18th October, on the theme of “Making the difference – showing the difference” and if you can’t make it to Perth then catch the live streams of the keynotes. Here are the session details from Alison’s blog…
JISC has just announced details of it’s forthcoming online conference on Innovating eLearning subtitled “Learning in Transition”.
There’s a pre-conference activity week from the 15th – 21st November. The conference proper will run from the 22nd – 25th.
The pre-conference activity week “provides a platform for delegates and agencies, such as the JISC Regional Support Centres, to run their own short presentations and showcase events”. The following conference comprises live events that are recorded as well as asynchronous discussion areas for delegates.
The conference has two themes which are likely to be of interest to people involved in the areas of eportfolios, lifelong and work-based learning:
The confirmed closing keynote speaker is Ewan McIntosh and further speakers will be announced nearer the time.
The conference is £50 per delegate.

Here’s something from back in June 2010. PebblePad hosted the PebbleBash conference in Shropshire last year and they have helpfully collated the presentations and one or two other bits and pieces.
There is also a range of case studies on a wide variety of topics with contributions from the great and the good of international eportfolio practice, including some people we’ve had the pleasure of working with at Netskills. The case studies are categorised according to these themes.
Hats off to PebblePad and the authors for making these case studies available under a Creative Commons license.
Also, kudos for having a ceilidh as their social event! More conferences should do this. 🙂
Way back in September I attended a conference on ePorfolios run by the JISC Regional Support Centre for Scotland North and East. I did a brief summary on my personal blog but I’d like to highlight one of the presentations; Margaret Faulkner from The University of South Australia (UniSA).
Margaret delivered the first keynote, about their experiences implementing an ePortfolio across a large institution and all the associated successes and hurdles they encountered on the way. They use PebblePad but as with all of these things the platform is the least interesting aspect of the story. It includes brief case studies of ePortfolios in midwifery and engineering studies.
Here’s the presentation, helpfully recorded by the RSC. It’s about 30 mins long and the slides don’t quite match with the audio.
