Career Development and ePortfolios

Introduction

6/16/2006 - I've created LifeWork Planning Services (LWPS) (powered by Elgg) and have moved (or will move) these communities to it.


“Career development refers to the lifelong psychological and behavioral processes as well as contextual influences shaping one’s career over the life span. As such, career development involves the person’s creation of a career pattern, decision-making style, integration of life roles, values expression, and life-role self concepts.” (Herr, E.L., & Cramer, S. H. (1996). Career guidance and counseling through the lifespan: Systematic approaches. New York: HarperCollins) (Ed: My emphasis.)

The purpose of this community weblog is to discuss the development and integration of career development elements and ePortfolios.

Below, starting with the Elgg Development community at the base, and ending with About Your LifeWork Plan at the top are all the communities and a few forums that will have some impact on the development of my vision of a LifeWork Planner.


Discuss any aspect of your LWP as though it existed. If you have a concern about the application/system, discuss it in the LifeWork Planner and ePortfolios community below.
Discuss LWP – the application/system and its functions.
Several topics about LifeWork Planner in this NCDA Forums (NF) forum.
Several topics about ePortfolios in this NF forum.
Discuss what and how CD elements are integrated into ePs and LWP.
Discuss any CD issue or topic.
This is a very key issue. Discuss how all ePs will work together and interoperate.
Propose and discuss feature requests.
Discuss Elgg development.

Elgg-based weblog communities provide a relatively unstructured and free-form virtual space to e-share and e-colloborate. Sometimes it is useful to have a hierarchical structure to provide a context. When that is appropriate, I will either add that structure to the community sidebars or I will post to topics in NCDA Forums (NF) and provide cross-links.
