The project will deploy contrasted e-portfolio/PDP systems across four collaborating colleges and provide a comparative analysis of their effectiveness and efficiency. To assist the HE in FE community with implementation choices in the future, this project will:

• develop a framework of metrics covering the operation and the collection of results data from the project operation.
• use this framework to provide unique, comparative and consistent information about the effectiveness of the four different approaches to the support of work-based learning.
• research and follow good practice demonstrated elsewhere in the sector
• significantly enhance the capability of WBL learners in the four different environments to document learning activities and experiences and record their personal development as a lifelong learner
• support course managers in administering their programmes
• achieve efficient and reliable recording of Work Based Learning and Skills within HE programmes.
• allow supervisors and employers to play an active part, providing feedback, engaging in dialogue and monitoring the progress of their employees.
• capture feedback from learners and employers, involving them as much as possible to ensure effective solutions meeting their needs
• provide reports on the comparative results obtained within this project of heterogeneous elements using consistent applied metrics and reporting styles
• indicate the strengths and weaknesses of a range of four approaches applied to the on-line support of work-based learners
