Table 1 provides an overview of implementation and links to examplars of effective e-portfolio use. Effective use was judged using the ePI framework.

Exemplar 1 - Developing a professional awareness during the first year at QUT - The Student ePortfolio supports students in exploring their chosen professions and beginning to develop their professional identities during the first year at QUT. Students undertake a range of tasks in their ePortfolios in several core units in Law, Psychology and Information Technology. The ePortfolio tasks are assessed and provide a basis for further ePortfolio engagement which will differ for different students depending on the area of study.

Exemplar 2 - Professional Development in the School of Business - Students undertaking the Human Resources unit, MGB370, in the final year of the Bachelor of Business, use ePortfolio to carry out major assessment tasks in the unit and also to develop an effective career ePortfolio for employment or career progression.

Exemplar 3 - Virtual Work Placements in the Faculty of Law - Students use ePortfolio to reflect on their experiences during a Virtual Work Placement. The ePortfolio reflections are assessed both formatively and summatively.

Exemplar 4 - Supporting Clinical Placements in Nursing - 3rd year undergraduate Nursing students and Postgraduate Nurse practitioners engage in reflective practice using ePortfolio for assessment within clinical placement units.

Exemplar 5 - Bachelor of Education - In 2009, the Faculty of Education embedded the ePortfolio programme to support classroom placements and internships across the Bachelor of Education course. The Professional Standards for Teachers in Queensland is built into the ePortfolio tool to structure ePortfolio content.

Exemplar 6 - Masters of Social Work - Beginning in 2011, Social Work Masters students are supported, across the course, to develop their professional ePortfolios to evidence development in relation to the Australian Association of Social Workers Practice Standards which are built into the ePortfolio tool. Students undertake assessment through ePortfolio activities.

Exemplar 7 - The Business Advantage scheme is an extra-curricular program which offers 3rd year School of Business students the opportunity to enhance their employment seeking skills. Students in the program attend workshops presented by Careers and Employment and eLearning services and are supported to enhance their ePortfolios for career related purposes.

Exemplar 8 - Professional Staff ePortfolio - The Professional Staff ePortfolio (PSeP) has the same format as Student ePortfolio. Professional Staff are supported to document their skills and abilities with a view to career progression both at QUT and beyond. The QUT People Capabilities Framework is inbuilt to structure ePortfolio content.
