“ePorEolios are not only outcome based – they can assist students to acquire and develop skills in informa4on technology. They provide a way to link student learning to university-wide generic skills – graduate aUributes…The decisions they require allow students high levels of crea4vity and independence in presenta4on of themselves as reflec4ve musicians and educators. They raise issues of professional iden4ty and self-reflec4on, and allow discussion of other areas of pre-service preparaAon, in this way becoming a medium for teaching and learning in themselves.”

As elsewhere, students at the university explore pracAcal techniques and theory, developing both collaboraAve and creaAve skills. What the students tend not to consider is the relevance of this learning to their future lives and careers; and in an already overcrowded curriculum there is liUle space for this discussion. The project aimed to determine whether an ePorEolio could be a means of exploring possible future selves and careers, assis4ng students with the transi4on from student-hood to graduate professional…..” (pp.144-6)”
