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.
