摘要：This paper des cribes an ePortfoli o implementation strategy at Federation University Australia, Victoria (formerly the University of Ballarat). The authors combined a personal and practical viewpoint to elicit pitfalls, challenges, and recommendations for improvement. Th e paper is divided into three main areas in order to outline the experiments that occurred. The first section provides a standard literature review around ePortfolio adoption as well as a research - based analysis of available ePortfolio software at Australi an universities. The second part depicts the University's ePortfolio implementation strategy that focused on "test - to - production" and technology dissemination phases. This section is based on the authors' personal viewpoint of ePortfolio adoption at a univ ersity w here a "top - down management decision making model" (Slade, Murfin, & Readman, 2013, p. 178) was used. Third, the evaluation strategy is reported, which was based on similar research conducted at Australian universities (Hallam & Creagh, 2010; Halla m, Harper, Hauville, Creagh, & McAllister, 2009). This part is offered as a modest - scoped, mixed methods evaluation process. The paper extends on ePortfolio implementation strategies (Bell & White, 2013; Coffey & Ashford - Rowe, 2014; Jarrott & Gambrel, 2011 ; Lambert & Corrin, 2007; Ring & Ramirez, 2012; Slade et al., 2013) and software analysis (ACODE, 2011; Slade et al., 2013). Recommendations are made for the careful integration of pre - and post - rollout of ePortfolio programs with face - to - face ePortfolio t utor support, offering online resources and alternative portfolio - making options for students with poor broadband access.
