A Professional Electronic Portfolio (PEP) is a way for an individual to organize and share information about his or her personal and professional learning experiences. The workshop will provide background information on Professional Electronic Portfolio (PEP) and Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and help participants develop a PEP.

Building a professional ID in the 21st century

We live in an era of individual “personalization and customization”. The read and write web has helped develop a new concept - “do it yourself and your own way” . The phenomenon has had implications in our society at different levels - from the way people learn to the new, emerging jobs and employment needs. The workshop aims to help members become aware of the way the web can empower the individual not only to learn, but also to present what, how and with whom he/she learns.

The workshop is aimed at teachers and trainers who already have some initial experience with web 2.0 environments and online communities and who would like to explore the experience in depth and in a collaborative way.
