  1. e-Portfolio for Personal Tutoring • What is e-Portfolio? • Practice and success • Improvements and limitations • Confidentiality, data sharing and standardised practice • Conclusions

  2. What is e-Portfolio ‘and why are they saying such awful things about it’? • Electronic portfolio to be rolled out across the university; • Allows tutors to schedule meetings with tutees; • Provides an oversight of arranged meetings; • Allows tutors/tutees to add notes about the content of their meetings.

  3. Practice and Success • 85% - used to schedule meetings • 54% - added notes • 77% - could see why adding notes would be beneficial (even if they did not do it this time round) • 71% - instances where notes were added by the tutor • Of this 71%, 60% would not consider delegating this job to the tutee

  4. Improvements and Limitations • Lack of willingness • NESS is too similar / favoured • Should be more like social media • Lack of Outlook integration • Tutors’ absence

  5. Confidentiality, Data Sharing and Standardised Practice • ‘Some teaching aspects may benefit from it being like social media’ • ‘There is the risk of accidentally sharing something with somebody who you don’t want to see it’ • ‘No [to social media idea], I’m always weary about confidentiality’ • ‘No it should be private and strictly confidential by default. It’s not a social media space’ • ‘I’d prefer a confidential route – how would you regulate police social media?

  6. Conclusions • Firth (2010) and Symonds (2010) – for e-Portfolios to be successful they have to replace previous practice, and be embedded into standardised practice • Willingness of tutors • How should e-Portfolio be ‘sold’ to unwilling tutors? • Standardised approach to managing information • Senior Tutor? • University-wide or school-based? • Engagement of students • How to engage? • How to enforce?
