Background research and related literature
‘Guidelines on Storage, Access and Related Issues for ePortfolios’ (JISC, 2006)
• long term access/portability• purpose• storage benchmarks & quotas• file types and upload limits• back-up/recovery procedures• third party access

Background research and related literature
‘E-portfolios Implementation Trials (EITs)’ (Australian Flexible Learning Framework, 2009a)
• learner-created content – storage, bandwidth & common formats esp video and mobile devices
• digital literacy skills• appropriate evidence• software familiarisation • induction

Background research and related literature
‘VET E-portfolio Roadmap’ (Australian Flexible Learning Framework, 2009b)
• storage goal – establish storage issues & requirements
• “thin e-portfolios”• develop National Guidelines & technical
standards

Commissioned Research - methods
“Ways that e-portfolio service providers were managing the storage requirements of learner e-portfolio content and also into their plans for future storage requirements”
• Desktop research• Web resources• Other Australian Flexible Learning
Framework reports• Interviews (n=22)/Online Survey (n=36)• E-portfolios Reference Group (ERG)

Findings and discussion
Portability very important
• individual artefact & whole e-portfolio• compatible formats (PDF, HTML, Leap2A
or IMS e-portfolio)• portability guidelines & best practice

Findings and discussion
Use common file formats
• Australian Flexible Learning Framework’s (2011b) E-standards for Training’s Standards: e-standards.flexiblelearning.net.au/standards.htm
• .JPG vs .RAW

Findings and discussion
Web 2.0 & cloud storage:
• YouTube/Flickr etc as proxy storage• Concerns over longevity, privacy, security
and ownership• Organisational policy, service level
agreements, ICT infrastructure policy etc• Web accessibility

Findings and discussion
Purpose:
• Pedagogy/Course design (learner centred)
• Digital literacy skills• Appropriate evidence/artefacts• Staff/Learner training/inductions

Conclusions
• Important to consider storage requirements as part of implementation:• Portability (Leap2A)• Purpose and pedagogy• Privacy/Security of storage options• Bandwidth and file formats
