Induction - OMG! D Y thnk we hv 2 std up + say sumting??? :-( An innovative use of the e-portfolio.

This is a paper from the 2008 Higher Education Academy Annual Conference.

It may also be a solution. Using e-portfolios in an innovative way during induction for social networking and ice-breaking has benefits beyond PDP and retention.
