4. ePortfolio: what is it? why use ePortfolio?
A system for managing competence-based qualifications over the internet, whether they be NVQs, SVQs or custom, in-house qualifications
There are many ePortfolio systems, which come in all shapes and sizes.
Our concept is to provide a user-friendly tool that allows all key stakeholders to access online assessment to support VQs and in-house qualfications.
The interface is deliberately clutter free and simple yet powerful tool, ensuring the system is accessible to those even with minimum IT skills, but with all the functionality they require.
