The Portfolio Very Much Paper Distributed over various organisations The candidate is enrolled by
The Employer The Training Company The Awarding Body, and Scottish Enterprise, who subsidise training via grants.
There are many people checking the various documents and there is much travel between sites for verification purposes.

key lessons learned: Breaking new ground, therefore an uncertain and
difficult process
There were major difficulties of integration
Technical issues around implementing the system
Issues for Employers – is it easier/harder for them to release candidates for training
Future work and overall implications for the future of this at national level
Further integration will be required for other actors in any new environment
![Page 25: John Gordon mail@john-gordon.com Building an ePortfolio for vocational learning in a Scottish Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649de45503460f94adb2a3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The way forward The project is now proven,
exploitation is required We have made the decision to go
opensource We wish to develop a community
based on these technologies The source code will be released
subject to appropriate licence
![Page 26: John Gordon mail@john-gordon.com Building an ePortfolio for vocational learning in a Scottish Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649de45503460f94adb2a3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Integration to Professional Development
We would wish to integrate the SELeP to Professional Development Schemes such as the British Computer Society
To link to HR systems in SMEs and large organisations
![Page 27: John Gordon mail@john-gordon.com Building an ePortfolio for vocational learning in a Scottish Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649de45503460f94adb2a3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Economic Development Tools
To develop the SELeP as an economic Development Tool – to manage skills development in an economic region
To investigate hoe labour need statistics can be integrated to HR and vocational learning statistics
![Page 28: John Gordon mail@john-gordon.com Building an ePortfolio for vocational learning in a Scottish Context](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649de45503460f94adb2a3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The SELeP Community We wish to establish the SELeP
open source community Please contact us if you wish to join We need further pilots for new
interfaces with other bodies We need developments in the
portfolio to integrate with mainstream academic approaches.
