  • ease of use
  • the evidence stored
  • appropriateness of evidence
  • possible applications

• stages in the ePortfolio process
  • Collect
  • Select
  • Link
  • review

• review evidence already stored

• link the new evidence into the ePortfolio to enable efficient retrieval and presentation of the evidence

• importance of purpose and audience
• need to provide learners with a reason to compile and mainatain an ePortfolio (LINK to bit after contribution to learning nprocess explained)
