To infinity and beyond
Present Thoughts
Can e-portfolios be used to widen participation in HE? Maybe, as long as we understand what the term means.
Is an e-portfolio simply a repository of e-material presented for assessment?– AMS (Assessment Management System)– ILP or PLP– Reflective element
Present Thoughts
Is there a use for e-portfolios on Level 4 courses? Yes as long as we do not have a restricted view of what makes up an e-portfolio.
Present thoughts
To introduce the use of e-portfolios as part of a college development to evaluate them as a tool to encourage wider participation in HE. Too ambitious at the moment HE are not ready, students are not ready, Colleges are not ready
The key is staff development
Present thoughts
To use e-portfolios on at least one module of a Level 4 course to gather evidence of assessment.
Used on three level 4 courses
Present Thoughts
To widen the appeal of e-portfolios in more curriculum areas. Done it.
To widen the use of e-portfolios beyond the capture of evidence. Done it.
To extend our use of e-portfolios to aid progression from Level 3 to Level 4. Too early.
To increase accessibility of IT to aid the development of e-portfolio usage. Too early.
