eportfolio for health professionals
DESCRIPTION
The slideshow presents some of the issues that face health professionals with regards to developing an ePortfolio. On the one hand, an ePortfolio is seen as a great tool for professional development. The barriers are uptake, digital literacy and confidentiality, to name but a few. My ePortfolio is embedded in my blog and wiki, but many health professionals are likely to be uncomfortable with this approach. Hopefully this slideshow will start some conversations about these issues.TRANSCRIPT
