A virtual presentation looking at Australia's experience of e-portfolios in the vocational education and training sector is taking place at the 9th International ePortfolio & Identity Conference. The session at the London-based conference is exploring building and sustaining e-portfolio communities of practice in the UK and Australia.

"In recent years ePortfolios have begun to emerge as an important component of the technology landscape within education institutions at both school and tertiary levels. Whilst the purpose of an ePortfolio can vary considerably depending on the educational context and level, there is increasing consensus that the ePortfolio fulfils a need for a student-owned and student-centred space to manage, record and present their work, reflections and achievements that LMS systems cannot easily cater for. Within the Schools MLE Programme the LMS system is seen as a 'hub' component in the curriculum and pedagogy space. Eportfolios represent one of the key satellite systems in this space. The Ministry of Education (MOE) conducted an initial investigation into ePortfolio use in schools in 2009.1 One of the primary questions motivating that work was how best to support schools in developing their use of ePortfolios.
