3. Who owns the e-portfolio?
Company owns the software
College pays the licence
Student creates the evidence
– But College no longer subscribes
– Student no longer at the College
Open source solution

4. e-Portfolio
To infinity and beyond

5. Present Thoughts
Can e-portfolios be used to widen
participation in HE? Maybe, as long as we
understand what the term means.
Is an e-portfolio simply a repository of ematerial presented for assessment?
– AMS (Assessment Management System)
– ILP or PLP
– Reflective element

6. Present Thoughts
Is there a use for e-portfolios on Level 4
courses? Yes as long as we do not have a
restricted view of what makes up an eportfolio.

7. Present thoughts
To introduce the use of e-portfolios as part
of a college development to evaluate them
as a tool to encourage wider participation
in HE. Too ambitious at the moment HE
are not ready, students are not ready,
Colleges are not ready
The key is staff development

8. Present thoughts
To use e-portfolios on at least one module
of a Level 4 course to gather evidence of
assessment.
Used on three level 4 courses

9. Present Thoughts
 To widen the appeal of e-portfolios in more
curriculum areas. Done it.
 To widen the use of e-portfolios beyond the
capture of evidence. Done it.
 To extend our use of e-portfolios to aid
progression from Level 3 to Level 4. Too early.
 To increase accessibility of IT to aid the
development of e-portfolio usage. Too early.

10. Present Thoughts
How far does an e-portfolio web site and
an intranet satisfy the e-learning needs of
the organisation? What benefits come from
a VLE?
How far does a VLE (in an adapted form)
meet the organisational need for an eportfolio?
