We had an excellent session last week exploring how best to approach e-portfolio implementation by reviewing some of the examples in the e-Portfolio Implementation Toolkit and devising an initial template. We felt that an e-portfolio might have a number of different roles as students progress through their time at University and could include:
- Thoughts on how the theory in the lecture theatre/seminar room translates into practice where students are undertaking work-experience and work-related activities;
- Opportunities for innovative approaches to Assessment & Feedback
- Support as students make the transition into and out of Higher Education
- Examples of student work and experiences relevant to potential employers
We also agreed that a portfolio should be a living document and above all, owned by the students themselves.
In devising the template, we’ve tried to keep it simple, allowing students to populate it to suit their needs, but without forgetting the need for guidance on how to get the most out of an e-portfolio.
Our next tasks include engaging with employers to ensure it meets their needs and identifying some willing students to test our ideas.

Have you thought about looking at the assessment projects and seeing which ones integrate with e-ps
Indeed..we have a few colleagues looking at how we can use e-portfolios for assessment 🙂
