Subject: learning impact of e-portfolios. Invitation to tender

All


In our process of delving into the potential of e-portfolios, however
they 
might be defined, we have identified a need for robust evidence of the 
impact of e-portfolio processes on learning (as opposed to formal 
assessment and transition processes).  In particular, we are interested
in 
learner retention; motivation and engagement; attainment and
progression.

 
We are therefore announcing an invitation to tender of a 6 month piece
of 
work evaluating up to 8 (identified) projects across a range of sectors 
and audiences and demonstrating very different approaches to supporting 
learning.  



The full invitation to tender, with details about the size and scope of 
the chosen projects is available by emailing 
[log in to unmask]  We need expertise in this field to do 
justice to what promises to be a fascinating look into changing models
of 
learning across sectors, with no presuppositions about the likely 
outcomes.  If you do request the ITT, please ensure that the subject 
heading contains the word e-portfolios.

 

Completed tenders will need to be with us by midday on 29 September.

 

Kind regards
