Quality assurance Assessment of skills - ePortfolios Assessment of skills - ePortfolios Assessment of skills - ePortfolios 40% reduction in the admin of candidates work. Learners can see exactly where they are you can see people who are falling behind much earlier and comment or help them It saves on the amount of paperwork you have to move from one place to another, it also gives the candidate more access and freedom to do their own work you can see exactly where someone is on a particular piece of work, you as an assessor can give instant feedback the major benefits are administrative Looks good for the college, forward thinking Benefits

    19. Our market research?Our market research?

    Not everyone has easy access or the ability to use it the system took six months to set up and customise to this organisations needs We have had a huge number of updates it hasnt been a success, we have to have it upgraded continually and I dont think it should have been set up until it was ready Trying to interpret what the awarding body requirements are eg signatures on work, ink and electronic signatures Changing staff mindset when different students use different systems it creates confusion Lessons Learned

    20. But with so many products on the market and little guidance from awarding bodies and other key players, centres became confused and experienced some teething problems.But with so many products on the market and little guidance from awarding bodies and other key players, centres became confused and experienced some teething problems.
