The research focused on the learning process rather than the technological tool, analysing multiple ePortfolio practices and their educational impact and efficacy. This included specific foci on identity development, the enhancement of learning in a technology environment, and educator responses to teaching with ePortfolios. Research Contribution This project enhanced understanding of the ways in which students and academics respond to the use of ePortfolios across multiple programs, policy contexts and platforms. The results confirmed that ePortfolios allow students to demonstrate capabilities and increase their ability to plan, implement and assess their learning reflectively, and to understand documentation relevant to career. The research contributed refereed conference presentations and journal articles, and book chapters; two student encounter days; professional learning; a website for the wider public (http:/www.capaeportfolios.ning.com); and an open-source website to provide practical assistance for university students and staff in designing and using ePortfolio (http:/www.eportfolioassist.com.au). An edited book (with Springer) emerged two years after completion. Research Significance This research positioned the creative application and development of an ePortfolio as a pedagogic innovation in learning and teaching in higher education. Data enabled a more nuanced understanding of the strategies that students acquire for selecting authentic evidence to document achievements and skills as graduates. These involve problem solving, decision-making, reflection, organisation, and critical thinking to create a learning story that accurately represents skills and competencies. These attributes relate directly to the cognitive aspects of employability. By repositioning portfolio development as a developmental tool, the findings of this study will inform future curriculum, policy and practice for creative and performing arts students in Australian tertiary institutions.
