photographs
•assessment records

and professional bodies

7. How will I
“collect”
and “store”
this
evidence
One of the best portable
and “sustainable” or
“green” ways is to use
“digital” or “e-assessment”
collection and storage
methods.
Such as using
• Ipads and apps to collect
•e-portfolios to store it

8. I could use the iPad to :-
•Record audio, video or
photos of my teaching and
assessing
• complete and “sign”
observation checklists and
marking criteria guides
E-portfolios are just like having
my own web page in cyber
space. I can :-
•Collect and store all my
evidence over time
•select who sees it
•use it for RPL applications or
job interviews, even assessment
submissions
•Use the evidence to
demonstrate an advancement
to a leading teaching position

9. I want to look at
some IPad and e-
portfolio examples
Wow , I could use
these e-assessment
tools for my own
students’ assessment
or RPL evidence
collection and
marking criteria
checklists !!

10. Completed observation checklist
• Interactive PDF form completed using
the ipad
• Document signed on Ipad and emailed
to student and admin as audit evidence
• Photographic evidence can be captured
and attached to electronic marking
criteria
• This concept now being integrated into
all teaching areas: on campus , in the
workplace and RPL as evidence
collection tool and process
• Interactive PDF forms and Ipad/tablet
process also being implemented across
administration to enable digital
archiving, thereby reducing printing and
archiving storage costs.

13. Eportfolio concept currently
being introduced into the
trades for Cert 1 carpentry as
evidence storage collection
• to enable schools to review
students progress
• To enable potential
employers to view students
work prior to offering
apprenticeships
