33. Exporting In Folio in Practice: The
benefit for students
I have had a contact from a Social Services
department relating to an ex student of an
Independent Specialist College(Portland College)
who has taken their In folio with them as they left
college and wants to carry on using it now as they
return to their home authority , the comment being
that they liked the freedom it gave them and also
allowed them to taken their history of achievements
and likes and dislikes.
