Scope:

This document specifies a reference framework of e-Portfolio implementation that can be used to inform and support development of ITLET systems that meet the requirements of learners, instructors, e-learning service providers and others in contexts such as K-12 education, higher education, training and personal development.

 

The reference framework identifies content and functional components that support e-Portfolio systems. It addresses interoperability issues required for data exchange between these components and among the various categories.

 

This document:

 

  • provides an e-Portfolio reference framework;
  • provides descriptions of e-Portfolios in terms of components (content or functional), categories,
    elements and items;
  • identifies commonalities of current implementations of e-Portfolios; and,
  • represents the needs of stakeholders (learners, instructors, etc.).
     
    This document does not include:
  • in-depth technical review of issues related to adaptability to culture, language, and human functions;
  • security techniques related to the protection of privacy information;
  • authentication of the identity of an IT or ITLET system user;
  • how e-Portfolios might integrate with ITLET systems; and,
  • specific requirements of e-Portfolios or e-Portfolio systems to meet jurisdictional domain requirements.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard.
