The e-portfolio continuum: Discovering variables for e-portfolio adoption within music education

Abstract

This article presents the results of audit data compiled from a case study introducing e-portfolios into a Music Education degree program, and highlights the key challenges faced from the initial stages of student use to curricular embedding and student adoption. This article discusses the technological, social and educational impacts inherent in a student's adoption of e-portfolios within a degree program, and critically, shows how training for e-portfolio use must manage these complex, interrelated imbalances on an individual student basis.
