ePortfolio

What is ePortfolio?

An online learning tool for trainees
Trainees can track their progress, keep a log of their activities, record the skills and knowledge they have gained and assessments they have taken.

An online assessment tool for educational supervisors
Supervisors can monitor the progress of their trainees, record meetings, complete assessments and trainers' reports.

A record of progress through training
Trainees' progress, including online assessment and supervision forms for each post, will be entered on ePortfolio and signed off in an ARCP each year.

A central source of information for all those involved in training
ePortfolio contains details of the curriculum and assessments required at each stage of training, templates for Personal Development Plans and areas for reflective learning.

Copies of all the various declarations and supervision forms required for each stage of training are also kept here.

Is ASSET the same as ePortfolio?

ASSET is the tool for completion of assessments online (CbD, DOPs, etc). It is a separate system and website from ePortfolio. Assessments are pulled from ASSET to ePortfolio.
