EPORTFOLIOS FOR CREATIVE ARTS, MUSIC AND ARTS STUDENTS IN AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES
This project extends the use of ePortfolios to undergraduate students in units of study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, University of Western Sydney, Queensland Conservatorium (Griffith University), and Curtin University, by creating ePortfolio ‘templates’ that provide students with a capstone product of their learning

WHY?
› Creating an ePortfolio to document students’ academic and artistic learning outcomes for enhanced employability in the arts sector is a key objective
› To introduce ePortfolios as a quality enhancement of the tertiary learning process
› CONNECTING & SHARING!
4
HOW?
› Documenting learning will be achieved through tailoring the design of templates for each specialization,
› Training staff and students in these processes and embedding assessable components within the curriculum will also be undertaken
› Cross institutional evaluations of the development of ePortfolio templates will assist in the integration of ePortfolios for Arts students at Australian universities

THE e-FOLIO AS A LEARNING “STORY”
› Evidence or artefacts required to document achievement of learning
› Resulted from understanding the skills and competencies developed during the university degree program
› Valuing the intellectual growth – the more we did it the more we understood

PLATFORMS?
› A Personal Learning Environment to encourage and scaffold the process of reflective learning
› Centrally supported and ‘safe’
› Is there an ‘Opportunity’ for integration into other virtual learning spaces?
