Virtual Portfolio for Online Learning (VIPOL)

The VIPOL project broadly explores the potential of virtual portfolios as pedagogical/educational tools for supporting learning in both on campus and off campus studies. More specifically, the short term objective of the project is to develop a draft model of a portfolio, which particularly enhances collaborative, problem based and reflective learning processes. The aim of the project is to develop a new theoretical insight and rational for the use of virtual portfolios in learning.
