QUALITATIVE DATA - StudentsUsefulness of ePortfolio Platform
“I found it really good to go back and again and see exactly what I had done”
Perceived Ease of Use“good, easy to use” “enjoyable” “pretty straight forward”
Attitudes to ePortfolio Platform“There are some benefits for our privacy. It would be easy to leave paper lying
around, whereas the site is password protected”
Behavioural Intentions“So we can carry on? So when we finish this year and go on to further study or go off to work in the UK or wherever how long have we got to access the
portfolio?”

QUALITATIVE DATA - Staff
Usefulness of ePortfolio Platform“To me they are probably getting a higher level of feedback because it is written in
context and in the place. I can be specific”
Perceived Ease of Use“I’ve uploaded templates I’ve change things and given feedback to students. They
really like it. Recently there has been a few students coming back and saying that they could not upload something and that’s where it was difficult for me because I didn’t
know Pathbrite well enough to help them”
Attitudes to ePortfolio Platform“I was a sceptic at the start of the year as I’m not too IT savvy . Now I’m know there
have been some gremlins in the system but once they were ironed out it was all sorted”
Behavioural Intentions“we’ve started and it needs to be developed”
