ePORTFOLIOS, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EMPLOYABILITY:
|
||
ePortfolios are increasingly prevalent in Australian universities as platforms for students to develop and present themselves and their work electronically. This paper focuses on ePortfolio use for education and recruitment. Student responses to an online survey at Victoria University in Melbourne about their use of PebblePad provide perspectives about the usefulness of ePortfolios, the utility of the PebblePad platform, the relevance of assessment tasks and the extent to which students may use ePortfolios beyond assessment requirements. Survey findings highlight students’ polarised views about PebblePad and suggest a need to review how ePortfolios are used, promoted and assessed. |
