The exciting program offered a range of sessions tailored to meet the diverse needs of 'ePortfolio novices' through to 'ePortfolio experts'.
While the keynote sessions provided insights into international developments in ePortfolio policy and practice, the program incorporated a plenary sessions on topics related to graduate attributes, reflective practice and career development.
There was also a number of papers on cross-sector issues and discipline-specific initiatives presented. A series of round tables offered the opportunity to discuss functional angles of ePortfolios. The panel discussions stimulated the sharing of ideas among the participants.
