University of Derby eAPEL PIOP3

A PIOP 3 project

Overview
University of Derby has a tool for the automation of Accreditation of Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) called eAPEL.

The information that potential students enter into this tool overlaps with the types information held in e-portfolio systems. This project will enable the potential student to import personal information, evidence of prior learning and, possibly, reflection into the eAPEL tool and to export personal information, evidence of prior learning, reflection, tutor annotations and tutor recommendations into e-portfolio systems.

For example a student has information in a corporate Continuing Professional Development e-portfolio and wishes to use this to gain credit against a Foundation Degree. They import the information into eAPEL and are successful in their claim. They can then export the improved and annotated information into the Universities e-portfolio system.
