  3. e-progress file Background • Our immediate partners in the project were the Loughborough University, RNIB College as we all are sited next to each other in Loughborough • Outcomes of the project: • Interoperability – transfer of data from FE to HE • Accessibility is an important aspect in order for all our students to gain access to the information but particularly so for our visually impaired students

  4. What is e-progress file? • e-progress file is the next stage in the development of the previous paper based progress file. Recently announced by DfES that paper based materials will be withdrawn in England. This will necessitate the use of e-progress files. • It allows learners to reflect on their performance, develop an understanding of their skills, evaluate their abilities and plan for their future.
