Engage

For Learners

A key goal of the National VET E-learning Strategy 2012-2015 is to expand participation and access for individuals through targeted e-learning approaches.

Opportunities for individual participation and access will be strengthened through:

• E-learning programs in foundation skills and e-literacy for learners experiencing disadvantage, as preparation for further training and employment.
• E-learning initiatives allowing individuals with access difficulties to develop skills reflecting jurisdictional labour market needs.
• Support for the use of e-portfolios to assist learners to identify and manage their evidence of learning, and the pursuit of a national e-portfolio approach including electronic access to qualification data, allowing seamless recognition of learning as learners move between education and training settings.
• Support for learner pathways through innovative programs leading to higher VET qualifications, skill sets and/or entry to higher education.

E-portfolios for Learner Pathways

What is an e-portfolio?

An e-portfolio is a learner-driven collection of digital objects demonstrating experiences, achievements and evidence of learning. E-portfolios provide learners with a structured way of recording their learning experiences and work history. E-portfolios can be developed quickly and easily in the workplace to capture live evidence through the use of mobile phones and point-of-view devices, and can include a range of digital evidence such as audio, video, photographs, smart pens and blogs. The National VET E-learning Strategy funds the E-learning for Learner Pathways project, please visit the E-portfolios site for up-to-date information on this activity.
