Games, competency frameworks/curriculum frameworks together with e-portfolio – a good idea
To give the learner-as-player a digital platform for increased reflection and follow up about the skills and competencies acquired in relation to the artifact and research/scientific writing, an e-portfolio can be used with the Competency tree via the Justframework.com web platform.
The e-portfolio is called MyShowCase.me and is free to use for individual learners. If used fully with grading workflow, showcase and submission feedback, badges, rubric and progress reporting against frameworks and standards in Justframeworks.com.
But individual users can also discover and use standards and frameworks from Justframeworks.com – in this case the Competency tree framework. This could be a way for librarians and students to have more overview and control on what competencies and skills are linked to certain parts of the writing process of essays, et cetera.
Via Justframworks.com, the framework can be downloaded as an XML file, when programming the further game/s with metadata and descriptions.
