What is an e-portfolio? Sutherland, S. and Powell, A. (2007) describe an e-portfolio as • “a purposeful aggregation of digital items – ideas, evidence, reflections, feedback etc, which “presents” a selected audience with evidence of a person’s learning and/or ability.” Sutherland, S. and Powell, A., 9 July 2007, CETIS Portfolio SIG mailing list discussions (http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/archives/cetis-portfolio.html21)

Results and Recommendations • One size does not fit all • Might want systems that integrate with your existing VLE • Trial with HE in FE
University of Plymouth • Purchase • Testing • Pilots with HE in FE students in partner colleges • Pilot Feedback Day to inform • Training Day
Pilot Results • City College Plymouth • Truro-Penwith • City of Bristol ‘User friendly and Fantastic’ “Exactly what we need”
Student Uses • Assignment feedback and reflecting on practice (Police) • Uploading PowerPoint presentations, videos etc (archaeology students) • Recording personal informal learning information e.g. activity in sports clubs • Writing reflective blogs for work based learning • An action research group used PP to record meetings and actions • Archaeology students looking at what employers want and reflecting on skills
Things to Consider • Roll out of training • Purchase – system integration/interoperability • Implementation • Longevity – lifelong learning
