New resources for embedding e-portfolios
The national training system’s e-learning strategy, the Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework), has developed a suite of five brochures, each designed to answer the detailed questions from specific user groups within the VET system:
learners – what do you need to consider when developing your e-portfolio?
teachers and trainers – how would your teaching or training philosophy affect the incorporation of e-portfolios into your program?
CEOs and managers – how can you create a more client-centred culture within your organisation?
IT and teaching and learning support staff – what do you need to consider when supporting teachers, trainers or managers to introduce e-portfolio-based learning?
employers, professional bodies and career services – how can you enhance your employment processes or the employability and career planning of learners in your organisation?
The brochures form part of the Framework’s existing E-portfolios Resource Bank – a comprehensive and central online resource including articles, news, blogs and events dedicated to e-portfolios and their application in VET.

In the process, it uncovered some interesting training and useability issues when relating to digital technologies.
