This topic was something that I thought didn't have a real question. Obviously any person that creates content is in fact the owner of that content. The point has come to surface that because the students are assigned the E-porfolio, that makes the content the schools property, because they're graded on content. However, I feel that my classes only introduced the idea of the E-portfolio to me and while they did ask me to complete this for grades, but that doesn't allow ownership over my own personal thoughts and ideas. The content was created solely by me, with support from credible resources that are backed by research in the field.
I do think that there could be a gray area in the fact that the assignments themselves come from the university or teacher. The fact is that the very purpose of giving students the E-portfolio, is using the COVA method which in itself gives the students choices, ownership, voice and therefore gives an authentic learning experience. The choice of how to accomplish the work is to me what keeps the content the writers property. The word ownership demonstrates that the writes do in fact own the assignment, as they actually choose what direction to take the work. The voice is what gives the students the ability to speak their educated opinions about the knowledge, and that invokes higher learning through reflection. Lastly the authentic learning experience, the students limitations are removed with the COVA method, which allows the learner to authentically learn the content by demonstrating what they know. This demonstration is of high quality, where the learner truly grasped knowledge, and vice versa if they were unable to grasp a topic.
