Why
Ownership through scaffolding
Students need to be prepared for a rapidly changing future in which lifelong learning is an integral part. In order to become successful, being and remaining responsible for one’s own learning is an important condition.
We believe that the best way to learn responsibility is by giving students as much ownership as possible over their own learning process: learning to take control themselves in order to learn from it optimally. Being able to take ownership is a learning process in which scaffolding on the route is crucial for a good success. On this route to ownership, the teacher can always offer the right guidance and reduce it appropriately, so that the student learns in his own zone of proximal development. The teacher determines the scaffolding, the student makes use of the freedoms obtained.
What
Extend your LMS with a student-led portfolio
Portflow is a plug-in (LTI app) for your LMS. In Portflow, students can make their developmental progress visible and accountable under their own control by collecting evidence, asking for feedback from teachers, peers, and experts, and creating an assessment file. Teachers can provide students with the necessary scaffolding in this process.
Everything takes place within the trusted environment that your LMS offers so that users benefit from both barrier-free visual integration and a seamless functional connection.
What makes Portflow stand out?
Portflow’s greatest value: As a student, you are able to direct your own development in one place and track your progress toward entry-level competence.
