  2. Australian Flexible Learning Framework 2008 – 2011 Strategy http://www.flag.edu.au/system/files/2008_2011_Framework_Strategy.pdf

  3. Background research and related literature • ‘Guidelines on Storage, Access and Related Issues for ePortfolios’ (JISC, 2006) • long term access/portability • purpose • storage benchmarks & quotas • file types and upload limits • back-up/recovery procedures • third party access flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  4. Background research and related literature • ‘E-portfolios Implementation Trials (EITs)’ (Australian Flexible Learning Framework, 2009a) • learner-created content – storage, bandwidth & common formats esp video and mobile devices • digital literacy skills • appropriate evidence • software familiarisation • induction flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  5. Background research and related literature • ‘VET E-portfolio Roadmap’ (Australian Flexible Learning Framework, 2009b) • storage goal – establish storage issues & requirements • “thin e-portfolios” • develop National Guidelines & technical standards flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  6. Commissioned Research - methods • “Ways that e-portfolio service providers were managing the storage requirements of learner e-portfolio content and also into their plans for future storage requirements” • Desktop research • Web resources • Other Australian Flexible Learning Framework reports • Interviews (n=22)/Online Survey (n=36) • E-portfolios Reference Group (ERG) flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  7. Findings and discussion • Portability very important • individual artefact & whole e-portfolio • compatible formats (PDF, HTML, Leap2A or IMS e-portfolio) • portability guidelines & best practice flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  8. Findings and discussion • Use common file formats • Australian Flexible Learning Framework’s (2011b) E-standards for Training’s Standards: e-standards.flexiblelearning.net.au/standards.htm • .JPG vs .RAW flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  9. Findings and discussion • Web 2.0 & cloud storage: • YouTube/Flickr etc as proxy storage • Concerns over longevity, privacy, security and ownership • Organisational policy, service level agreements, ICT infrastructure policy etc • Web accessibility flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  10. Findings and discussion • Purpose: • Pedagogy/Course design (learner centred) • Digital literacy skills • Appropriate evidence/artefacts • Staff/Learner training/inductions flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios

  11. Conclusions • Important to consider storage requirements as part of implementation: • Portability (Leap2A) • Purpose and pedagogy • Privacy/Security of storage options • Bandwidth and file formats flexiblelearning.net.au/e-portfolios
