Work Matters: Management Focus - E-Portfolios - Evidence online

A new tool for training is explained by Ross Midgley, director of training and assessment firm People and Business Development.

One of the major drawbacks of work-based qualifications has always been the sheer amount of dead time involved in the process - time when nothing is happening.

A solution to this problem is to use an e-portfolio instead of a paper-based one. This is an approach that is proving highly effective for NVQ candidates.

A web-based portfolio can be accessed securely at any time by both learner and assessor - at home, at work, or wherever there is web access. Dead time is almost completely eliminated.
