Update from Henshaws College

Beginnings
We first got to grips with In-folio at Henshaws at the end of the last academic year when we hosted a roll out event for Techdis. In order to do this I spent time creating a test In-folio for myself to find its scope. Bearing in mind that I have only just come across the guide [...]

New features for In-Folio

I know that some colleges are planning to put bids in for the innovation3 funding opportunity from TechDis and the LSC involving adding features to the In-Folio application. It would obviously make sense if we coordinated this type of bid so that we don’t get duplications and we get an idea at an early [...]

In-Folio: Early Thoughts?

185 users, 181 student accounts, 15 groups, 273 assets and counting!  Yes, they are the stats for the first 30 days of Portland College’s In-Folio usage.  It’s been quite a month really and so I thought it might be useful to fill you in on what we’ve done so far and then hopefully get some [...]

The day consisted of presentations by various members of the Rix team, and also one from myself when, as mentioned in my earlier blog, I went on about omelettes and somehow managed to link them to [...]

In-Folio has been developed by the Rix Centre, Techdis, and six specialist colleges, with the aim of providing students with anytime, anywhere, web access to their own electronic portfolios. We trialled this program with a [...]

Those links I promised people on the roll out tour

Hi
Hope people had a good summer. I promised to post links to some of the things I was showing on the roll out.
The software I was using to make custom environments for people, and switch cause and effect stuff with live video and also playing files was called Isadora and you can find out about [...]

In Folio and Screen Readers

I attended the NCYPE presentation on In Folio on behalf of Dorton College, a college for the visually impaired. After being provided with a user id, I tried the system out and found it very easy to use from a mouse users point of view. I then moved on to trying it with a screen [...]

How Many Words?

If a picture paints a thousand words, how many does a 17-second video clip paint?
As it’s coming up to the end of the academic year, a lot of learners’ and practitioners’ thoughts are turning to transition. In fact, by now that’s all they are thinking about.
For learners who are moving on, we are compiling information [...]
