The aim of this site is to compare, contrast and identify trends in eportfolio practice across the educational sectors from early childhood education through to secondary. It will also look at how eportfolios are being used by teachers and educators in their professional learning and reflection. There are three main questions that direct the discussions within the sectors: 
 * 1) What is the purpose of eportfolios?
 * 2) What are the benefits of eportfolios?
 * 3) What tool is used to harness the potential of eportfolios?

This site has been made as part of the Massey University Post Graduate Master of Education (eLearning) programme. Its purpose is to creatively develop a deeper understanding of the following four outcomes of the paper //Foundations of eLearning//;

Students who successfully complete this paper will be able to:
 *  Locate, select, evaluate and synthesise information related to E-learning theory and practice.
 *  Demonstrate knowledge of the concepts and principles which underpin contemporary E-learning including links between E-learning and (a) distance education (b) open and flexible learning and (c) traditional place-based education.
 *  Critically evaluate links between the general theoretical foundations of E-learning and situated notions of the practice of E-learning in context.
 *  Contribute knowledge and expertise to a professional learning community through active participation in knowledge construction processes.
