Learn, Engage, Apply & Perform

 

The advent of the Internet around the turn of the century saw an increase in the use of ePortfolios by VET institutes. Some ePortfolios were developed as ‘add-ons’ to learning management systems and others as a simple repository for students to store digital artifacts. Recent developments have seen the emergence of Massive On-line Open Courses (MOOCs), gamification and serious games, mobile use of web-based tools and the increased use of products such as Blackboard and Moodle. Other than making ePortfolios responsive for use on tablets, there has been relatively little advancement of ePortfolios in VET in this decade.

Project Aims

The LEAP ePortfolio project aims to create a ‘step change’ in the use of ePortfolios. It will result in a learner-centred, process-based pedagogical tool to improve learner and VET provider performance and VET processes. This will be achieved through the development of a responsive and versatile ePortfolio developed around a four-step pedagogical model: Learn, Engage, Apply and Perform (LEAP).

 

 

 

 

The LEAP ePortfolio will integrate the use of open digital badges and elements of gamification and will be suitable for use with formal and non-formal VET courses. It will enable VET teachers and trainers to develop and deliver rich, personalised and adaptive learning experiences leading to improved learner achievements, increased retention and completion rates, potentially requiring less time and resources.

The LEAP ePortfolio project will raise the awareness of VET stakeholders, policy-makers, VET, further and higher education institutes and employers of the potential of ePortfolios as VET tool. The project will present a cogent argument for renewed interest and investment in the development and use of ePortfolios by demonstrating how the LEAP ePortfolio impacts on the competences and performance of learners and VET teacher/trainer.
