stakeholders?
• Who has an interest in the results?
• What is Being Assessed?
• Is learning the key focus of the assessment?

Editor's Notes
Today’s students come to university to learn with the aim of a career upon graduation. Yet often traditional disciplinary approaches to learning mask the knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable learners to articulate what they know, understand, and are able to do for potential employers. Engaging learners with ePortfolios enables them to make visible their knowledge and to explore ways to transfer learning to a variety of contexts (workplace, academic, community). This talk explores examples of learning designed for future readiness with ePortfolios. Participants will consider how they can enable learners in their contexts to document their abilities, and foster lifelong learning, facilitating learning for the future.
