Enabling e-portfolio portability (Leap2A)

JISC Briefing Paper - Leap2A: Enabling e-Portfolio Portability 

e-Portfolio tools and systems are now widely used by learners to present evidence of learning, achievements and abilities for many purposes. During a students studies, learners may invest significant time and effort in collecting, selecting, reflecting on and presenting the information included in their e-portfolio, so it is vital that their work is not lost or becomes unusable as learners move onto another college, university or into the workplace. 

Leap2A enables information created by the learner to be transferred to other systems and tools. Systems that have implemented Leap2A are ePet, Mahara, MyProgressFile and PebblePad.
