The document discusses Leap2A, a specification for representing e-portfolio information in a common format to allow portability between different portfolio systems. Leap2A was developed through direct involvement of portfolio developers to balance reusability with retaining useful detail. It models a portfolio as a blog-like collection of items that can be categorized, related to other items and resources, and tagged in various ways to maximize the range of learner-owned information that can be transferred between portfolio tools and practices.

- 1. Diverse practice, shared representation: Leap2A for e-portfolio portability Simon Grant JISC CETIS
- 2. Tools?
- 3. Practices?
- 4. Information?
- 5. Previous practice … … current practice … … future practice
- 6. maximise the range of learner-owned information from any past or present portfolio practice available to other present or future portfolio practices involving any suitable tools
- 7. conceive of the information in common terms transfer it using a common representation
- 8. Back to the idea of maximising … How did we attempt this for Leap2A?
- 9. Leap2A methodology direct involvement of practice-informed portfolio systems developers keeping things as simple as is reasonable, while not losing useful detail bringing out and explicitly representing the different assumptions of different systems accepting that 100% reuse is by nature not often possible
- 10. Leap2A specification Think of a portfolio as a blog collection: items say one thing or describe one thing may be linked to attached files as "resources" Leap2A allows us to say what kind of thing each item is say how items are related categorise them further
- 11. Leap2A types of item entry ability achievement activity affiliation meeting organization person plan publication resource selection
- 12. Leap2A relationships Reflection e.g. entries reflecting on activities Whole-part e.g. shorter activities within longer programmes Support e.g. organization supporting activity Evidence e.g. a resource evidencing an ability Agenda, outcomes, attendance e.g. for meetings Threads of conversation for entries and comments (already in Atom)
- 13. Leap2A categories e.g. SWOT learning cycle (cf Kolb) life area user-defined tags
