Explanatory
The project "FLUIDS_ID: e-portfolios and life stories - digital contents for social inclusion and employability in RL and SL" questions different representations of final higher education students at national, European and Latin-American level, who seek jobs resorting to accessible and inclusive WEB 3.0 tools, made available to every citizen.
We created a space (http://w3.ese.ipsantarem.pt/fluidsid/) where we identified world experiments that generated good practices of employability, we adapted Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory and developed the Puzzle Metaphor respecting the learning profiles of the citizen, with DublinCore metadata, where every student can insert e-portfolios and life stories, by selecting a profile of competences, impersonated by an avatar, defined under Kolb’s theory. We underline the fact that this platform will allow the inclusion of personalized videos with the maxinima technique (used in Second Life).
We built the prototype in May 2007. It was awarded the 1st prize, and later on the 3rd, at the Poliempreende Competition (respectively at regional and national level). Presently we propose: a) to study the way of rendering this platform inclusive to all citizen; b) to index the various profiles that are part of the platform to companies capable of giving them an employability response; c) to introduce innovative techniques at the level of video (maxinima) so as to allow each citizen to build his/her own life story; d) to develop the platform for every student who finishes higher education, projecting its internationalization to Europe and Latin-America, with the goal of including the present study under the policies adopted world wide (to create an e-portfolio for all until 2010); e) to promote research at post-doctoral, doctoral and master level, including the integration of young graduates in Research Integration Grants.

Explicativo
O projecto que agora apresentamos, e-Portefolio 2.0: instrumento pedagógico de empregabilidade, pretende contribuir para o conhecimento e implementação de uma ferramenta – e-Portefolio – de sociabilidade – WEB 2.0 – que se inscreve numa Sociedade Fluida e Multimodal.
Esta temática justifica-se numa dimensão nacional uma vez que pretende dar resposta à medida apresentada no Plano Estratégico Nacional do Plano Tecnológico, mais especificamente, na terceira prioridade que visa contribuir para a garantia da “coesão social” através da qualificação tecnológica escolar e profissional do cidadão que se movimenta na rede fluida e multimodal da WEB 2.0. Para tal, tentaremos apresentar o “e-Portefolio” como um instrumento capaz de ajudar a promover a empregabilidade e o empreendorismo do cidadão.
Numa dimensão internacional, pretendemos através deste projecto dar proposta às medidas que estão a ser implementadas a nível mundial pelo Europortfolio Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) - EIFEL (Building and Learning Europe) e, no continente americano, pelo “Learning Innovations Forum” (LIFIA) no sentido de criar um e-portfolio para todos os cidadãos até 2010.
