Gender and e-portfolios
23-May-2006
permalink email thisO I am in Salzburg for the 'Social software - Social skills' workshop organised by Salzburg research.
It is in a beautiful conference centre called St Virgil, just outside Salzburg. Arrived just in time for lunch and got into interesting discussion with Wolfgang Greller from the University of Klagenfurt and Helen Barret.
Wolfgang is organising professional development at his university. He has developed parallel tracks - including self learning and coaching for staff in the university,. He finds that it is the women who overwhelmingly choose personal coaching whilst them men prefer the self learning route.
This led to a wider discussion on gender differences and how it relates to portfolios.
Anyway at some point I got the microphone up and running and recorded most of the discussion. Will edit in the train next week and hopefully you will be able to listen to the discussion in the next Sounds of the Bazaar,
Later today I am interviewing Shane Sutherland from the Pebble Pad portfolio project at Wolverhampton University and my old frond, Wilfred Rubens who is involved in organising Dutch edubloggers, amongst other things.
