IUP Portfolio
Encyclopedia
IUP Portfolio is an education platform for Swedish schools, focused around the students individual development plan
("Individuell utvecklingsplan", IUP) and learning portfolio.
This plan will contain the goals that will be created in connection with parent/teacher/pupil talks that are held two times a year.
The purpose of having an online IUP is that all parties should be able to access the document at any time and be able to follow up on the goals that were created.
In each cell there will be of a Web form ready to be filled in by a teacher who will write down what was agreed upon during the talks.
The result of this form will be saved in the pupil cell in his/her matrix.
So there are two basic matrices we want to build,
one for the teacher to get an overview of all his/her pupils and one for the pupil to have a matrix for his IUP and portfolio work.
Columns again stand for time.
The IUP or development plan should appear the same way it does for the teacher.
The pupil and parent will be able to verify and comment the IUP from this view.
The pupil and the parent should see their own activities and those in common for the pupils class.
There should be a message for the teacher when there is an unanswered message.
Maybe notification by e-mail.
The parent teacher will only use to communicate with the teacher.
