The e-portfolio implementation toolkit
The AAEEBL Webinar Series, 3rd Edition, Co-sponsored by EPAC and AAC&U - What Is An ePortfolio?, …evolved to "what is the eportfolio idea?"
RAPPORT (The International Journal for Recording Achievement, Planning and Portfolios) a new peer-reviewed online journal.
Cross-atlantic debates
An e-portfolio is ‘a purposeful aggregation of digital items - ideas, evidence, reflections, feedback etc which ‘presents’ a selected audience with evidence of a person’s learning or ability’
Sutherland and Powell, 2007
While this description refers to the ‘aggregation’ as ‘purposeful it is neutral as to what these purposes might be.
Strivens, 2015

Institutional assessment – how do eportfolios affect institutional assessment?
Technology in education – how are eportfolios different form other technologies used in education?
Culture and economy – what is the cultural significance of eportfolios?
Definitions…in context

portfolioprocesses
portfolioplatforms
portfoliopresentations
From definition to implementation
Why?
How?
What?
Who?
…which is why it is no longer like ‘Nailing Jelly to a Wall’…hopefully!

Making your portfolio successful
Vision: Why introduce a Portfolio? How will it
improve student learning ?
Selection: What questions to ask, eg:
employability, assessment, tutoring
Implementation: How will students own
their Portfolio? Who will support and give
feedback
Tool: What is the right software? How will it integrate? What does
it lack?
Any questions ?
