Background to Project – Ofsted 2015

Plan for an e-ILP

InnovationThe act of making changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods,

ideas or products.

• ILPs are established but going electronic/online is new for my organisation

• Most learners currently have paper-based portfolios; making these electronic would also be new

• VLE (in its current form) is brand new and would provide an ideal platform for an e-ILP

• I’ve done web building (html, css, php, mysql) but developing an e-ILP website would stretch and challenge these skills

Project Artefact
