11. Qualitative Evidence
ePortfolio Models of Use
Track Development
Tracks student performance across chosen performance indicators over
time. This can allow for student goal-setting and tracking (student-centred),
as well as effectively charting student progress against the Program learning
objectives, skills and competencies (teacher-centred).
Collaborate
Provides a platform for the creation of learning activities based
upon student collaborative production and peer assessment.
Reflect
Develops self- and peer-reflective practices within students. This
allows students to contextualise their work within their academic
and professional growth.
Showcase
Provides students with a means of presenting an array of
exemplary work. This can be used by the student after graduation
for professional accreditation, while seeking employment, and for
establishing an academic/professional identity.

Formal Purposes:
• Determining best practice across ePortfolio use
• Identifying new means of leveraging the tool for effective teaching and
learning
• Collaborative problem solving of implementation issues within Programs

tips and resources, and chat off-the-record with those who are going
through a similar experience

19. • Advocating for “another platform”
– The “right tool for the right job”
– Demonstrate value not able to be shown otherwise
• Teaching & Learning impact can be difficult to make
tangible
– Quantitative data to demonstrate impact
– Qualitative case studies easily citable examples
• Cutting through: How to make people care?
– Exemplars to show what is possible
– Share stories of success with invested others
