Articulation… many other purposes
ePFs are ‘Just a presentation’
ePF issues and solutions:
- Many users are still terrified of technology – ePF needs to my easy on eye and easy on the mind
- Need Support in writing
- learning takes place outside the institution
- different audiences need different ePF
- people will only use an ePF when they’re made to
ePF allow students to draw together all of their rich learning experiences (ie work, community, spiritually, individually), not just those experienced in an educational institution.
PebblePad has mobile phone and PDA versions
PebblePad will soon be releasing a ‘text to voice’ tool which can be ‘switched’ for sight impaired students
