student with the portfolio content and
associated learning.”

Barriers
Student perspective
“It’s a good way
of keeping track of
what we’re doing.”
“It just seems
like another tick
box.”
“I think it kind of
helps you bond
with them [junior
doctors]”
“when we actually
qualify it’s not this
other new thing we
have to get our heads
around”
“if.. everything got
burnt in a fire.. I would
have everything there
listed in my ePortfolio
“It would be nice
if there was an
app..with the kind
of accessibility of
paper”
The future:
m-learning
