This document could provide an interesting background for any eportfolios from the UK. It seems that some work has been done by the QAA on formalising how eportfolios and other personal develoment documents of various kinds are used in the UK. I don't think that anything has been done here on this - there's nothing on the AUQA website. I suppose the present DEST research proposal relates to people wanting to set some standards.

There is always the reflective component - some of the papers evaluating the introduction of portfolios in nursing etc have students commenting that they make up the reflection or write what they think the assessor wants to hear - I suppose this shows awareness of what is wanted but also highlights the difficulty with this whole area of self-reflection and public reflection.
