New Multi-Port from MKM is a flexible ePortfolio designed to help manage all aspects of assessment and evidence-based reflective learning easily. Modular in design, Multi-Port can be extended and customised to provide the features required of its user's curriculum - from formal competency-based assessments to online spaces where learners can reflect informally on their experiences.

The product suite constitutes three core elements, targeted to different assessment styles and learning methods that seamlessly work together or stand-alone:

Thought-Port is a blog-like reflection space for learners to keep a log of their learning and experiences, chat about them with other centre members, and map experiences against a qualification framework.

Skills-Port enables learners to manage formal assessments. Evidence of learning can be mapped to structured requirements, whether NVQ, a Foundation Degree, or a particular set of work-based competencies.

Centre-Port offers remote tutor and assessor support online, allowing staff to keep in touch with learners whether at or remote from the workplace.

Unique in Europe, HCSIT connects ideas, people, and organisations in the field of digital technologies and human capital and takes place in conjunction with ePortfolio 2007, the key international event for the growing community of ePortfolio professionals - and now in its fifth year.
