e-Portfolios

Guide on Effective Practice with e-Portfolios Published

Bristol (UK), October 2008 - A guide on effective practice with e-portfolios has been published by JISC in the UK. It investigates current good practice in the use of e-portfolios as a support to learning and as an aid to progression to the next stage of education or to employment.




Launched at ALT-C in September 2008, "Effective Practice with e-Portfolios" draws out key points from established and innovative examples of practice in further and higher education and from a selection of significant JISC-funded projects on e-portfolios.


The publication complements an infoKit on e-portfolios which synthesises the main outcomes from JISC-funded projects in this field and covers the main drivers, purposes, processes, perspectives, and issues around e-portfolios. Audiences for both resources will be those whose roles involve the use or implementation of e-portfolios as a tool for learning: learners, practitioners, and managers in FE and HE, including IT and network staff; professional bodies; those involved in initial teacher training and in the management and implementation of PDP practice.


This online resource encompasses a broad spectrum of e-portfolio use and development and offers a valuable synthesis of JISC-funded projects on e-portfolios in recent years.
