HEE has developed and tested an eportfolio platform that facilitates the
uploading and evaluation of an individual’s
portfolio of education and training evidence.
Individuals collate and submit evidence
which is then subjected to peer review
scrutiny and an outcome concluded. This
platform is highly scalable and flexible; it
can facilitate the gathering and evaluation of
evidence towards recognition of the
equivalence of training/experiential learning
of an individual practitioner working at an
advanced level (and other levels of practice
as necessary), the platform can also serve
as a Continuing Personal and Professional
Development (CPPD) platform and for the
uploading, validating and evaluation of other
learning, including HEE credentials as they
become available to the workforce.
