The presentation discusses how you can encourage creativity in portfolio work by assessing it. I do this at Lillebaelt Academy of Professional Higher Education where I teach Multimedia Design Students. This is the presentation I made at the ePIC 2011 conference in London. ePIC is a conference on e-portfolios and identity - an area which interests me enormously.
