Welcome to the project website for PortisHEad: ePortfolios in Successful Higher Education Admissions.

The PortisHEad Project will implement the integration of the PebblePad ePortfolio system throughout the admissions process as an example of the thin ePortfolio model recommended by the eP4LL Project. We will review and amend existing business processes, so that the learners ePortfolio can be placed at the centre.

The project will build on the work of the ePortfolio for Lifelong Learning (eP4LL) Reference Model Project. The next logical step in this development would be to implement a practical application of the model using an existing ePortfolio system, with a view to learning lessons from a stateoftheart implementation.

The PortisHEad project will carry out this work using the PebblePad system. In addition the project will implement a real life pilot version of the web services developed for the Reference Model Project, including the use of structured entry profiles for admissions to Higher Education (HE).
