What is an e-portfolio?
An e-portfolio is a learner-driven collection of digital objects demonstrating experiences, achievements and evidence of learning. E-portfolios provide learners with a structured way of recording their learning experiences and work history. E-portfolios can be developed quickly and easily in the workplace to capture live evidence through the use of mobile phones and point-of-view devices, and can include a range of digital evidence such as audio, video, photographs and blogs.
Overview
The E-portfolios - Managing Learner Information business activity aims to establish a national standards-based approach to
the use of e-portfolio technologies for managing learner information, between VET, other educational sectors and employment.
Following a year of research and consultation in 2009, the E-portfolios business activity will work closely with key stakeholders
and agencies to establish national agreement on the standards and business rules required for wide spread adoption of e-portfolio
by focusing on strategic implementation and wider adoption strategies.
Work with national and local information services will be undertaken to support verification of learners' formal records and
support industry needs.
