A project designed to find the best tools available to create a free ePortfolio available beyond graduation
Taught to 180 Biological Sciences students, from September for a PDP module
Objectives: • What content had to be included in an ePortfolio• How to manage the content
Output: Built 3 exemplar ePortfolios and project wiki (http://pleuol.wetpaint.com)
