Audience is an important component of the e-portfolio process. The opportunity to review personal development, skills competency and achievements in a presentational situation is very important for adolescent learners who need to cope with job interviews, examination boards or peer reviews. This module is based on the outcomes of Module 1 and Module 2 and focuses on the issues that the learner needs to consider when they design a presentational e-portfolio for a particular purpose. The sessions focus on the selection and presentation of appropriate artefacts that will in turn provide the audience with evidence of the learner’s development or competency. The sessions follow a refinement process: from design through performance or delivery to reflection on performance and future planning.

Session 1: Purpose and content of a presentational e-portfolio is dedicated to raising the awareness of the importance of presentation in the e-portfolio cycle as well as in the development process itself. Trainers are encouraged to refer to real-life situations so that they can prepare their trainees to support learners who will be compiling an e-portfolio in preparation for a real interview situation or review meeting.
Session 2: Compiling a presentational e-portfolio is an extension of Module 1 as it focuses on selection of evidence and designing an e-portfolio for a particular audience. It is very practical, including a study of current best practice and opportunities to discuss real situations.
Session 3: Organising an interview or presentational situation - Facing the interview is usually a very stressful situation for the learner. This session focuses on developing effective strategies to plan and rehearse an interview situation in order for learner to be prepared for and derive maximum benefit from the situation.
Session 4: Delivering a presentational e-portfolio requires the trainer to organise the session in a way which reflects the atmosphere and setting of the real presentation situation (such as a job interview). The benefits of recording the learner’s performance in the presentational situation is discussed as is the need to plan, organise and prepare both the learner and the technical aspects of the recording. The importance of integrating review and reflection on performance is highlighted.
Session 5: Review, Reflection and Action Planning is a crucial stage where a learner reflects on their performance and considers the appropriateness of the structures and evidence that they selected. This session examines strategies that can be used to promote self-reflection and analysis of the evidence selected.
