Gordon Joyes and Angela Smallwood from University of Nottingham will be leading a discussion on the JISC funded e-portfolio implementation (ePI) study within the E-Portfolio Community of Practice in Cloudworks http://cloudworks.ac.uk/cloudscape/view/2201 on the 5th and 6th April.
All those who have an interest in e-portfolio implementation are encouraged to visit and contribute in Cloudworks during the 2 days. We will explore four key questions in relation to e-portfolio engagement within institutions that have arisen from the ePI study of large scale e-portfolio implementations. These are:
1. Why should we expect practitioners and their institutions to engage with e-portfolios?
2. Why is e-portfolio implementation not straightforward and why is it different to VLE implementation?
3. What are the key factors for success for practitioners and for large-scale engagement with e-portfolios within an institution?
4. How can the support of senior managers be gained?
