Abstract

Personal development planning (PDP) is a key issue in relation to professional and career development, and e-portfolios are a tool that can aid in this process. Many benefits of paper-based and online portfolios have been investigated but less has been reported on the technological and organisational issues which impact on user acceptance and uptake. This paper reports on experiences of the Enhancing Learner Progression Project in implementing two different e-portfolio systems in six different personal development contexts. Findings relate to access to the e-portfolio, the need for changes in pedagogy, time constraints for staff using e-portfolios and the future direction and questions raised from using e-portfolios.
