  6. E-portfolios for teacher development - A simple approach Ten Essential Questions http://www.pebblepad.co.uk/essentialquestions.asp 1 What type of system are you after? 2 Will you build, buy or co-create your eportfolio software? 3 Do you want to have the system internally or externally hosted? 4 Who will use the system? 5 Can the system support your institutional aims and processes? 6 Is the system applicable across broad contexts? 7 Can the system support assessment processes? 8 Is content private, secure, and owned and controlled by the user? 9 What support is available to assist implementation, use and maintenance of the system? 10 Are you confident in the longer term availability, viability and continued improvement of the system?

  7. E-portfolios for teacher development - A simple approach Our goal ... to provide an assessable physical record (either on line or in hard copy) of each participant's development during a teacher development course (online or face-to-face) providing participants with a sense of ownership and clear evidence of applying input to local context (Adapted from Matthew Davies)
