A further valuable resource is a recent publication prepared by JISC in the UK.
Effective practice with ePortfolio
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/effectivepracticeeportfolios/
The publication investigates good practice in the use of ePortfolios as a support in learning and as an aid to progression to the next stage of education or to employment.
The guide is complemented by an Infokit on ePortfolios:
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/publications/effectivepracticeeportfolios.pdf
The Infokit covers the main drivers, purposes, processes, perspectives and issues around ePortfolio. It also highlights research activity support by JISC.
AeP survey instruments
The survey instruments used in the AeP research can be used or adapted by other ePortfolio researchers.
There are three survey instruments, designed for the different cohorts of respondents:
Learning and Teaching Survey - academic, academic support and general teaching staff, lecturers, trainers, assistant deans, and those generally involved with teaching design and development and/or supporting students in recognition of learning.
Management Survey – people involved in governance, policy, resource development, department managers, administration staff, assistant directors and careers and employment officers.
Human Resources Survey – people involved in the professional development of university, VET and ACE staff, professional and/or academic, teachers/trainers.
