A little and often: unanticipated outcomes from an ePortfolio evaluation impacting on early identification of risk and non submission of work

Since 2005 all staff and students within the University of Wolverhampton have had access to an ePortfolio system - PebblePad. In 2007 the University ran a HEA Pathfinder Project 'embedding ePortfolio at level 1' which involved 1800 level 1 learners and 31 members of staff across all acade...
