Ambition in Action What is an eportfolio? An ePortfolio is a digital collection of information, evidence and examples of your interests, skills and achievements and your reflections on these over time, from which you can publish presentations for different audiences. Source - An e-portfolio is a learner-driven collection of digital objects demonstrating experiences, achievements and evidence of learning. E-portfolios provide learners with a structured way of recording their learning experiences and work history. Source - VET E-portfolio Data Protection Assessment Consultation Brief, 2009

Ambition in Action Benefits of ePortfolios to RPL /Utilising templates to structure the presentation of RPL evidence combined with ways to organise and find content helps streamline the assessment process /reducing the need for paper based, hard copy evidence and limiting excessive evidence collection /developing and strengthening information and communication technology (ICT) or digital literacy skills /Offering flexibility for students to gather, store and manage their contributions /Allowing students to communicate & collaborate around their recognition process /Fast-tracking RPL process Source: E-portfolios for RPL Assessment: Key findings on current engagement in the VET sector, March 2009E-portfolios for RPL Assessment: Key findings on current engagement in the VET sector, March 2009

Ambition in Action Ways an e-portfolio supports the RPL process /Facilitated self-assessment Self assessment tools ie. Skills Express or Skillsbook may be used in conjunction with an ePortfolio to structure the process of matching competencies and evidence /Supporting communication Best practice skills recognition involves facilitated discussion and conversational style of RPL assessment. ePortfolio have tools such as forums, blogs and media tools to assist this process. /Presentation and validation of evidence Streamlines the process of gathering and validating digital evidence. Material can be re purposed to multiple audiences and contexts. Makes validation by third parties easier. /Assessor tools EPortfolio platforms have a range of functionality which can assist the assessment process. From capturing live activities with audio, video images to collaborative tools so support team assessment and assessment validation.

Ambition in Action Ways an e-portfolio supports the RPL process /Managing the RPL process Regular access, communication and feedback via a candidate’s e-portfolio by the skills recognition assessor provides ongoing support to aid the management of the RPL process. This assists in keeping the candidate engaged and on track with the process.

Ambition in Action RPL & E-portfolio enablers /Consider how to integrate other tools (eg paper based) if at all? /Consider which units lend best to e-portfolio assessment /Assessor must continue to guide throughout process /Structured vs unstructured e-portfolios

Ambition in Action Findings from the 2009 E-portfolios Implementation Trials / portfoliosblog/?p=70http:// portfoliosblog/?p=70
