How to collect an informal learning activity (ILA)

There are 2 basic ways to collect an ILA:

  2. Manually adding the activity in the ILC

Using the Bookmarklet:

While visiting a web page you want to send as an informal learning activity to the ILC just click on the “Send to ILC” bookmarklet you have installed in your favorites bar.

A new tab will open in your browser and you will be taken to the ILC with a message that the activity has been successfully sent to the ILC queue.

After that you can choose to see the list of the IL activities you have waiting to be sent to the portfolio.

Clicking on “Edit and Send to Portfolio” will take you to the IL configuration form where you can add additional details to the activity and send it to the portfolio.

Adding an activity manually:

To manually add an activity to the ILC just visit:

And click on “Add a new activity manually” either in the main panel on in the right ILC sidebar.

You will be taken to the Activities Definition Page where you will need to fill the activity data before sending it to the portfolio.
