Reason for implementation:The PgCHEP was redesigned and revalidated in 2009-10.

All staff and students at Bradford have access to a personal e-portfolio system whilst they are at the University. The use of the e-portfolio system also supports a current development of a distance learning version of the course, the first module of which has already been delivered to staff at an international partner institution in Pakistan.
