Eportfolios are increasing seen as a pedagogical tool to meet the external and internal requirements of a higher education institution. How to approach the embedding of eportfolios can be a challenge in a changing institutional environment. One option is a trial method which can falter if the institutional will for implementation is not forthcoming. Alternatively, course champions can travel the solo road but wider adoption may be a problem. The University of the Sunshine Coast recently undertook a six month Feasibility Study to determine whether the university community value using ePortfolios for student learning. This model enables a stepwise progression towards a staged sustainable eportfolio implementation by gauging interest and collecting evidence through collegiate workplace practices to gaining high level institutional support. The study resulted in a fully supported Early Adopter Phase in 2013 with two programs implementing ePortfolios and a larger staged implementation process to be undertaken next year.
