Digital Ethics: Sustainable ePortfolio Practice: Considering Creation, Support, and Advocacy (Southern Hemisphere)
August 25, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am AEST
Free
The ePortfolios Australia Organising Committee and AAEEBL Digital Ethics Task Force are pleased to announce this workshop.
The workshop
In this blended workshop, Christine Slade, Megan Mize, and Sarah Zurhellen will introduce participants to the ‘Principle of Labor Visibility’: in what ways are work, time, and effort invisible and unrewarded as it relates to ePortfolio practitioners and creators?
By first introducing and situating the principle as critical to ePortfolio projects, we intend to engage participants in a lively discussion about what constitutes work in the ePortfolio space, how they conduct and conceive of that work, how they’re recognized and/or compensated for that work, and how we, as a field, can develop and maintain ethical expectations for the labor of ePortfolio practitioners and creators.
