• Getting teaching staff to do the same• Working with the large number of items that
students had to upload and staff had to mark/provide feedback

Successes Clear majority of students got moving quickly practicing creating and uploading products
Pre-made webfolio templates in the Gateway very useful
Academic staff mostly came to grips with basic functions

Big mistakes ?Too many items in too short a time with too short marking turnarounds
Rubrics based marking system required a complicated process of generating and returning feedback to students
With large numbers of students staff and products they system became very slow which was a real “turn off”

Just some of the contributions from just one student?
Try 100 students ! Next stop 400 students
One too, too busy gateway.

What we do now? Products still created but not marked in e-portfolio
Products do not contribute to assessment now
Products must be created but feedback on products is part of classroom time.
Upload to e-portfolio not compulsory but strongly encouraged

If so what aspects match up
If not what differences are there?
What impacts arise from how you ask students and academic staff to work with e-portfolios
