Future Learning Strategy and ePortfolios in Education

Based on the experience of a long running eLearning initiative the “Futur(e)Learning”-strategy was started October 2007: New forms of learning and “Web 2.0” didactics were launched at Austrian schools. The current results of this educational project will be outlined. The introduction of ePortfolios in education is part of this strategy: Portfolios are powerful tools to realize individualised learning in formal education (process portfolio) and they also support the documentation of skill oriented knowledge and informal acquired competences for the later professional career (application portfolio).
