  2. ePortfolio • What is an ePortfolio? • Why should I use one?

  3. What is it? • An ePortfolio is a means of collecting and storing – usually on-line – a range of evidence about the skills and knowledge I have gained over my lifetime • These skills and knowledge could have come from formal education, informal learning or life experiences in general

  4. Why should I have one? • It is a great way to acknowledge just what I have achieved • It can help when applying for a job • It keeps everything in the same place – and is easy to access

  5. Why should I have one? • It will help if I decide I want to do some formal training – possibly lessening the amount of study I need to do (because of RPL)

  6. How Do I Make One? • There are a number of TOOLS available • Some are dedicated ePortfolio tools • Some can be used for numerous reasons, one of which is to create an ePortfolio • They are generally stored on-line

  7. Tools • Some cost – either the educational organisation or the student, some are free • Some can be made private, some are for all to see • Some are hard to use, some are easy

  8. Tools • All allow for storage of a variety of file types, including: • Word documents • Presentations • Databases • Photos - .jpg • Mp3 files • Video • Web links

  9. Tools • Some have specific ePortfolio tools within them, such as: • Resume writers • Word processors • Pre-set e-portfolio sections • Others are less structured – giving you more freedom about what you include

  10. RPL • Recognition of Prior Learning • Recognition of Current Competencies • Skills Recognition

  11. Skills Recognition • Is a form of assessment • You believe you already have the required skills and knowledge – so why study them again • You have to provide evidence that you do have the skills and knowledge

  12. Skills Recognition • An assessor will examine your evidence to determine if you are competent against the requirements of the relevant unit(s) • You might have to undertake some ‘gap’ training, or you might be assessed as competent based on your evidence

  13. What is Evidence? • Samples of the work completed • Photographs • Videos • Audio recordings • Certificates • Reports / references from employers / supervisors

  14. Credit Transfer • If you have previously completed a unit(s) of a qualification, and if that unit(s) covers identical content to a unit you need, you can be granted Credit Transfer • You only need a copy of your Statement of Attainment to be granted Credit Transfer
