Plan for an e-ILP
InnovationThe act of making changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods,
ideas or products.
• ILPs are established but going electronic/online is new for my organisation
• Most learners currently have paper-based portfolios; making these electronic would also be new
• VLE (in its current form) is brand new and would provide an ideal platform for an e-ILP
• I’ve done web building (html, css, php, mysql) but developing an e-ILP website would stretch and challenge these skills
