PIOP requirements

=Portfolio Interoperability Prototyping Requirements=


 * Institution-free e-portfolio systems
 * Importing data from institutional VLE/ILPs via web services
 * This may be particularly relevant to students who will be studying their course at more than one institution. The institution's respective VLEs are not connected, and the external e-portfolio system could act as hub to join up the learning. It has been mentioned to me by a couple of partners that the ability to pull information through from a VLE as evidence would be very useful.  It's feasible that these items could be pulled in as 'entries'.


 * e-portfolio system hosted at the workplace (eg. for NVQ)
 * Transfer competency and evidence to institutional e-portfolio system.
 * Transfer assessment e-portfolio as record of achievement


 * Institutional e-portfolio system for course support
 * Transfer chosen items to another institutional e-portfolio system
 * .. more relevant to the scenarios already described


 * A bulk transfer from an FE College's e-portfolio system into a University e-portfolio (to support transition)


 * a web service taking data from mobile devices and synchronising with the online e-portfolio system (a tool running on the PDA is used to record data offline).
