DESCRIPTION
ePortfolios are not new to Nottingham: a number of pilot projects were run by one of the University’s HEFCE-funded Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. In addition, the CIePD has carried out project work around ePortfolios and ePortfolio processes which more recently has included successful pilots within the institution. This presentation charts the journey of ePortfolio use at the University of Nottingham.TRANSCRIPT
