Supporting the storage requirements of learner e-portfolio content

The document discusses supporting the storage requirements of learner e-portfolios. It summarizes research on e-portfolio storage, including guidelines on long-term access, appropriate file formats, and the use of common standards. Research findings showed that portability between systems and compatible file formats are important. Considerations around the purpose of e-portfolios, privacy, security, and bandwidth must also be made. Effective implementation requires planning for storage needs as part of the overall design.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Introduce myself
- #3: The Australian Flexible Learning Framework (Framework) is the e-learning strategy for the vocational education and training (VET) sector. It provides the VET system with the essential e-learning infrastructure and expertise needed to respond to the challenges of a modern economy and the training needs of Australian businesses and workers The Framework was launched as a strategy in 2000, responding to information and communication technology (ICT) developments in workplaces and society. The Australian Government and all states and territories agreed to work together nationally to advance the use of e-learning in VET. The 2008-2011 Framework Strategy maximises and builds on the national investment to date in essential e-learning infrastructure. It will focus on embedding e-learning in registered training organisations (RTOs), business and industry. The first 2000-2004 Framework Strategy focused on raising awareness of the potential of e-learning, and starting to build capability. The second 2005-2007 Framework Strategy continued this work, and focused on engaging with key target groups. Together these strategies have created a considerable infrastructure and a sound foundation on which to establish e-learning as an integral part of the national training system. The 2009 Framework Business Plan provides the blueprint for the Framework in the second year of the 2008-2011 Framework Strategy, detailing the Leadership and Innovation programs, and their related business activities. Further information can be found on the 2009 business activities or by downloading the 2009 Framework policy brochure [1MB, PDF] The 2009 Framework corporate brochure, E-learning in Action [2MB, PDF] demonstrates the depth of e-learning in VET by focusing on innovative e-learning case studies and profiling specific e-learning products, resources and support networks. Previous Framework projects are described in the past activities section. Earlier Framework business plans and strategies are available in the key documents section.
