E-Portfolios and Education for the Professions

A conference organized by Bournemouth University and the
JISC Regional Support Centre South West

January 21st 2010
Venue: @Bristol

Time: 09.30-16.00


A growing number of professional organisations are introducing e-
portfolios to enable their members to record and reflect on continuing
professional development activities.

What implication does this have for further and higher education
institutions who are preparing students for these professions through
their pre- and post qualifying education programmes?

How are the professional bodies’ e-portfolio designs and technologies
influencing those used by the education providers? How are education
providers influencing the professional bodies’ use of e-portfolios?

This conference, organised by Bournemouth University and the JISC
Regional Support Centre South West, provides a forum to explore these
issues in a range of professional education contexts.

The main speakers, who will provide contrasting experiences of two
different professional areas, are:

Dr Cheri Logan, Director of Evolve, Centre for E-learning Research
and Development, University of Cumbria

Tricia Ellis, Head of Knowledge Management and E-learning, NHS South
West

Who should attend?
Curriculum managers, E-Learning and e-portfolio managers, placement
support officers, careers guidance professionals, learning development
support staff, academic and professional staff responsible for
implementing PDP and e-portfolios.

First call for presentations
Proposals are invited for presentations that illustrate how e-
portfolio and PDP initiatives in institutes of further or high
education are being influenced by the approach to e-portfolios adopted
by professional bodies. A wide range of perspectives is welcomed,
including those about design, content, approach or interoperability.
