Relationship with HE Progress Files
The diagram below, adapted from a presentation by Peter Rees Jones of CETIS shows how these elements relate to the progress file and transcript as suggested by Dearing 1997. The presentation was given to a joint meeting of the CETIS Padagogy Forum and CETIS Learner Information Profile Special Interest Group (LIP SIG) on 30th June 2004.

The e-portfolio can be used to support reflection and that may help students understand their own learning. Helen C Barrett of the REFLECT Initiative in the US has written a white paper that discusses this, and e-portfolios in general, in more detail.
