(Personalisation) and other reforms?• The Reference Model is reviewing the chains of key

domain services;• Identifying gaps and priorities for the development of

webservices;

• Outlining the interfaces required for ePortfolio enabled

services; The key deliverable for March 2006: - a set of profiles from which a simpler information model than IMS LIP

can be developed which is capable of supporting implementation of the eStrategy.

ePortfolio Initial Reference ModelPersonal Development is often a collaborative activity

Yet IMS LIP has no concept of “Group”

Informal and collaborative learning are important gaps to be filled.

Although PDP has been core to JISC, little work has been done on planning.

IMS LIP does not cover plans!

• ePortfolio looks more like an application than a service

• Past library work on repositories may be adaptable for an ePortfolio application

• There may be specific ePortfolio services supporting personalisation and integration

• This requires more work on pedagogy• In particular for informal collaborative

learning


Some issues: -

• Transition between episodes of learning in education and employment is a key issue for policy & practice;

• Profiles of eP information have been transferred between school, college and university;

• Chaining back these profiles imply the services generating the information;

• Chaining forward these profiles imply the webservices consuming the information & generating new information;

• Proposals for the reform of HE admissions published by DfES

Improving the HE applications process" propose the following: - (

Stage 2?

4.4.4 There is also much work going on in the sector in relation to the development of e-portfolios, the content of which could include a portfolio of evidence compiled by the student, a developmental CV and a transcript or learner record. This includes work by UCAS and the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) in the area of e-portfolios and online applications, and also development through the British Standards Institution of the technical standard UKLEAP, based on international standards, to support transfer of learner information. Additionally there are links into Europe and the Europass learner record.

4.4.5 This type of information, representing an up-to-date collection of a student's achievement, could be used by HEIs to help inform admissions decisions. It could be a particularly useful record for those students not following the traditional A-level or Higher based route into HE.
