The Conference will provide a forum where researchers and
practitioners can discuss theoretical aspects, open
issues, and innovative approaches, whilst sharing the
latest advances in the state of the art and practices,
specifically in relation to how far the following issues
are currently supported effectively by ePortfolio tools
and technologies, whether provided within or beyond
institutions:
· the development of learner and professional identity;
· the (institutional) recognition of informal / life-wide
learning;
· accreditation of prior experience and learning (APEL),
curriculum design and assessment;
· integrative learning and holistic development;
· continuing professional development, lifelong learning
and sustainable employability;
· the development of distributed ‘communities of
practice', community and organisational development.
For the second time, the international ePortfolio &
Identity conference will have ePortfolios in healthcare as
a major theme and papers are invited on all aspects of
ePortfolios in healthcare. 20 abstracts and the 5 best
papers will be published in the International Journal of
Clinical Skills (IJOCS).
The event will bring together policy-makers, researchers,
academics, teachers, trainers, human resource managers and
technologists. It will enable in-depth and broad
exploration of the issues - and result in real outcomes.
Past events have resulted in the creation of national and
international networks, contribution to policies,
contribution to standardisation bodies, establishing
partnerships with other communities in the field of
digital identity and human resource standards,
transnational projects and numerous publications.
