Reason for this project
Many study programmes at Radboud University make use of a digital portfolio in their education. This ePortfolio is currently integrated in Brightspace, but no longer offers the functionalities that the programmes desire. Because the digital portfolio has become indispensable in the education of several programmes, and an increasing number of programmes want to implement a digital portfolio in their education, a project was launched to search for a new digital portfolio system.
Approach
After careful preparation in coordination with the programmes who are currently using the ePortfolio, we launched an European Tender, with the goal of finding a new supplier for the digital portfolio. In addition to a large number of functional, technical and legal requirements (GDPR), functionality and user-friendliness are important assessment criteria for the new software.
Portflow will be the new ePortfolio software
Together with representatives of faculties, the suppliers who had bid for the tender were assessed. The project group has chosen the software Portflow from the company Drieam.
Planning
The goal of this project is to provide a new digital portfolio system during the academic year 2023/2024. We will begin with using the new digital portfolio at a few programmes. Over the course of academic year 2023/2024, we will gradually increase the usage. From 24 November 2023, Portflow will be included in the Brightspace digital learning environment and all students and teachers will be able to use the software.
