What we will do
This project will provide full support for the Leap2a standard within the ePet ePortfolio, and will make this available freely to the UK education sector. Drawing on our expertise from the PIOP project we will also provide support and guidance to other projects, helping the UK ePortfolio community reach a consensus on ePortfolio interoperability. Our work will extend the scope of the EPICS-2 project by providing the interoperability mechanism for a case study on transferring real-life student records between ePortfolio instances.

What we will deliver
1.	Attend meetings and contribute to telephone conferences in relation to further development of the standard

2.	Real use-case scenarios will be added to the LEAP2a wiki pages

3.	Relevant documentation on ePET-specific implementation will be made available at www.eportfolios.ac.uk/leap2a

4.	We will provide sample data exports

5.	A demo version of the ePET implementation will be added to www.eportfolios.ac.uk

6.	LEAP2a export will be included in the freely available version of ePET.

7.	Extend the scope of EPICS-2 by providing the mechanism for transferring real-life records between ePortfolios.
