Generative Learning, MPortfolios and Exploring How We Know What We Know
ePortfolio California presents Melissa Peet's sold-out keynote presentation from the 2011 AAC&U ePortfolio Forum.
Have you ever had one of those "aha!" moments when you realize you already know the answer to a question or challenge but you have no idea how you know it or where you learned it?
Melissa Peet, Academic Director for the Integrated Learning and MPortfolio Initiative at the University of Michigan, and co-Leader of the Integrative Knowledge Collaboration, explains this as unconscious, or tacit, knowledge that is "comprised of skills and essential insights about the world that we utilize but are rarely aware of". In this one hour presentation, Melissa addresses this concept by providing an overview to the principles, research and practices related to “Generative Learning” - a teaching, assessment and eportfolio methodology that supports students in integrating the explicit (conscious and formal) knowledge they’ve gained in their academic courses, with the tacit (unconscious and informal) insights, skills and capacities they’ve acquired from life experience. This methodology was developed at the University of Michigan and is now part of MPortfolio Process – a campus-wide eportfolio effort.
