The aim of this network is To share good practice and expertise among ALPS partner sites in the use of e-portfolios for reflective learning, measurement of professional competencies, personal development planning, enterprise & entrepreneurship, and employability and gain a better understanding of how e-portfolios can be used to effectively enhance the student experience

The Network funded a number of mini-projects which looked at various aspects of using e-portfolios. These mini-projects then presented an e-portfolio carousel at the ALPS Showcase event on 16th Sept 2011.
