Personal
ePortfolios for Teaching and Learning (Petal)
Welcome to the Petal Project.
Petal will produce a general e-portfolio tool for lifelong learning
based on the Open Source Portfolio Initiative (OSPI) and the Certified Member of
ALT scheme (CMALT).
Early views of the alpha release of the software can be seen here.
Petal addresses the lack of open source tools designed to build
ePortfolios in the UK context. It will build on good practice and
re-use existing open source software wherever appropriate.
A personal e-portfolio is more than
the CV of the 21st century, with a list of qualifications and
experience. An e-portfolio can help learners reflect on their learning,
help people move and progress from school to college to university and
into work, help workers to learn on the job, and help increase
participation in education and lifelong learning.
