Australian ePortfolio Project - ePortfolio Use by University Students in Australia: Informing Excellence in Policy and Practice
This Australian project researched ePortfolios in education, employment and community. Outputs include a report providing an overview and analysis of the national and international ePortfolio contexts, types of ePortfolios used in Australian higher education, issues relating to ePortfolio implementation, and guidance about future opportunities for ePortfolio development.
The overarching aim of the Australian ePortfolio Project was to examine the current levels of ePortfolio practice in Australian higher education. The research findings revealed that there was a high level of interest in the use of ePortfolios in the context of higher education, particularly in terms of the potential to help students become reflective learners who are conscious of their personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, as well as to make their existing and developing skills more explicit.
