What is an e-Portfolio?

e-Portfolios have come a long way since they were simply a web-based repository for things they would have once stored in a paper portfolio. 

Any modern e-portfolio will store electronic resources such as documents, images and other evidence of competency, but a really good e-portfolio also offers:

• Different interfaces for different users (apprentices, employers, training providers, QA)

• Easy logging of competency, including the use of electronic evidence if appropriate

• Easy mapping of activity to qualification structure

• The use of many thousands of certified qualification (and Standards) structures, as well as bespoke company-specific programmes

• Reporting on every aspect of delivery, progress and achievement

• Inspection-ready reports

• Communication between all parties

• Learner Diaries – allowing reflective accounts to be captured

• Reminders of upcoming submission dates, reviews etc

• Off the Job Training hours recording and reporting

• Integration with your existing student record systems
