ePortfolios for entrepreneurs / ePortafolios para emprendedores Peter Mozelius, Stockholm university, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences Hello, in my secondment in the DiasporaLink project I am developing an online course for Spanish speaking entrepreneurs in the diaspora. Course content is mainly in English but with important activities doubled in Spanish to support the idea that problematic learning is best done in your mother tongue. To get the Spanish right and to get a course design that suits the target group I work together with Daniel and Tomás, who currently take post-graduate courses at the Department of Education at the Universidad del Desarrollo / University of Development in , .

The course has been developed in the framework of Design science with the first requirement phase carried out in Sweden before the visit to Chile. Course content and online activities are currently implemented at the Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD), Department of Economics and Business. Since it is a course for entrepreneurs in the diaspora everything is designed as distance education in the Moodle virtual learning environment. As a third part of the secondment here in Chile the course will have two evaluation phases where the first one was the workshop with Daniel and Tomás with a focus on language, course structure and scaffolding. In the next evaluation session the test pilots will consist of a group of unemployed female entrepreneurs participating in a vocational training programme in Santiago where they learn basic programming and web development. A longer detailed version of this course development will be presented at the 15th European Conference on e-Learning ECEL-2016, at the Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic in October 2016. The research article, including an analysis of the evaluation sessions will be written together with students and researchers at UDD, starting out with some face-to-face brain storming sessions in November 2015. Most of the writing will later be carried out as an online distance collaboration.
