Future ePortfolio Development

The ePortfolio is constantly being developed and improved to meet the needs of users, the requirements of Workplace Based Assessment (WPBA) as it develops and to remove ‘bugs’ from the system.


The following is an outline of planned work on the ePortfolio for the current year. Please note that it is only a guide, and that items may be added, removed or delayed depending on how the schedule of work progresses throughout the year.  Urgent fixes or changes required as a result of external factors (such as changes to Gold Guide requirements, GMC policy decisions, etc) may take precedence over and above other development items.

Version 6.0 – Planned release date - early August 2011

It was agreed that major changes to the ePortfolio will only be introduced at the start of a new ST year. Version 6.0 will be the next major update, and will be released in early August 2011.

 

The list of work for Version 6.0 is still very much a work in progress, but at the moment we are planning to address the following:

 

  • A major review of the curriculum and its likely impact on the ePortfolio

  • A review of the Learning Log functionality and linkage

  • A review of the Case Based Discussion (CBD) WPBA tool

  • Minor aesthetic improvements e.g. text display and layout of tables

  • Housekeeping of the database and updating coding for the website

 

 

This webpage will be reviewed and updated regularly, and we will continue to publish pre-release notes on the website well in advance of each release.
