Captured Alive:Eportfolios for RPL Assessment

National VET E-learning Strategy

Allison Miller4 September 2012

There were many benefits for recognising existing skills, especially for workers “so that wherever possible their training time

is reduced”

Committee of Australian Governments, 2006

E-portfolios provide a way to support successful learning pathways by enabling learners to manage their lifelong learning

records

Curyer et al, 2007

E-portfolios provide an effective means of supporting the evidence gathered for recognition of existing skills and/or

knowledge for recognition of prior learning (RPL)

Perry, 2009
