In 2015-16, we reviewed our current online portfolio provision. Our existing tool (PebblePad) was heavily used by one subject area but little used elsewhere.
There was interest in our creative subject areas (Film, Music, Performance, Fashion etc) for a ‘real world’ tool that students might use in their future careers e.g. as Freelancers and for a tool that allowed them to be more creative (in terms of aesthetics!). WordPress was seen as a strong option and CampusPress was chosen for a pilot to complement PebblePad.
