Student experience with e-Portfolio: exploring the roles of trust and creativity

Research and pedagogic design for e-Portfolios has tended to focus on optimising the environmental conditions and supportive structures for learners to benefit from more meaningful Personal Development Planning (PDP). Yet engaging students with e-Portfolio for PDP remains difficult. An action resear...
