The initial aim of the project was to produce a reference model of an ePortfolio capable of providing and receiving services from other ePortfolios in other episodes of learning, and of facilitating admissions and transitions between study and employment at different levels. It intended to test the proposition that the pattern underlying ePortfolio services provided for transition at different stages of education and employment is essentially repeated, thus reducing the complexity and cost while increasing the practicability of implementation for Lifelong Learning.

The work has been scoping the interfaces between an ePorfolio and the services providing and consuming the information it contains. Our working hypothesis is that and ePortfolio is an application, rather than a service in its own right. It is the services (such as Personal Development Planning or Information, Advice and Guidance) which drive and therefore play the sequences of activities interacting with ePortfolio. We are investigating how this can be implemented using a web services approach, focusing initially on the UK UCAS application to HE process.

We recognise the vital importance of scenarios and use cases in informing this work, and anticipate that we will be able to build links to existing materials from this website.
