About

This site aims at providing an overview on the actual and potential development of ePortfolios in Europe and beyond, the state of the art in ePortfolio policy, practice and technologies in order to address the following questions:

  • What is an ePortfolio and an ePortfolio-enabled system?
  • Who is driving ePortfolio implementation?
  • What is the role of ePortfolios in national, regional and local education and training policy?
  • What is the actual and potential contribution of ePortfolio to European initiatives such as Europass, the Common Qualification framework, the Copenhagen process?
  • How is the ePortfolio used in employment?
  • How is the ePortfolio used for continuing professional development and personal development planning?
  • What role can ePortfolios play in the recognition of non-formal and informal learning?
  • What are the competencies required for teachers, trainers, administrators and managers in ePortfolio implementation?
  • How can the ePortfolio support the transition between different episodes of life, e.g. moving from educational institutions to employment, changing job or career?
  • How is the ePortfolio being used as the interface for managing, recording, developing, assessing, recognising, validating and accrediting competencies and achievements?

This site covers a large range of sectors, from initial education to retirement in the perspective of  lifelong learning and recognition of competencies acquired formally and informally.
