"The e-Portfolio system Mahara has been introduced to the Supported Learning Programmes at Barony College to enable student self-evaluation and reflection. The JISC RSC Scotland S&W talk to the Learning Technologist at Barony College and the Supported Learning Programme tutor to discuss how they worked together to roll out the e-Portfolio for this programme."

The intention was to integrate an institutional virtual learning environment; an e-portfolio for assembling work, where the students can include ideas and reflections and create their own work; and social networks as powerful communication tools, particularly of an informal nature. The study aims to find out whether students think that an e-portfolio can improve project assignments when used in collaborative group work; whether this independent way of learning enriches collaborative work and reciprocity among the members of each group so that a knowledge-building process is generated in the case study in question; and whether using e-portfolios contributes more effectively to the achievement of the course's proposed learning outcomes."
