Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The Education Focussed (EF) Fellowship program was introduced by the UNSW Sydney Pro Vice-Chancellor Education and Student Experience (PVCESE) Portfolio to support EF academics via an EF Fellowship Program in all faculties. The vision was for cross-faculty collaboration by EF Fellows on strategic projects identified as key for enhancing the student experience. EF Fellows would provide a comprehensive review of the pedagogical scholarship and shared practice expertise in education to develop a deep understanding of the needs and requirements to address various strategic projects. One of these strategic projects was focussed on ePortfolio pedagogy and practice. An important consideration was to ensure that time was granted to EF Fellows. Each EF Fellow was awarded funding equivalent to 0.4 full time equivalent (FTE) for Term 3, 2021 to allow for time to generate thinking and practice around each strategic project. This supported approach enabled the ePortfolio EF Fellowship team to generate a set of recommendations for a roadmap towards a hybrid ePortfolio pedagogy and practice system.
