The Passportfolio

www.passportfolio.com is the interactive e-portfolio and personal development tool for young people in Nottinghamshire, managed by Connexions Nottinghamshire. It has been developed in partnership with Aim Higher and the Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Local Authorities.

It is centred in the new Personal Development Curriculum in secondary schools, is a core part of the 14-19 developments and supports progression planning for all young people aged 13-19 in Nottinghamshire. Passportfolio is a place for young people to record and store achievements, work experience and anything relating to their personal development.

It has an interactive zone of quizzes and activities to develop their self awareness and action planning. The results of these two zones then enables them to present an Individual Learning Plan, Personal Statement, Curriculum Vitae, and Common Application Form to all schools and colleges.

Passportfolio has now been successfully piloted with over 3000 young people. Connexions Nottinghamshire, both Local Authorities and Aimhigher Nottinghamshire have committed to continue supporting and funding this project in the future. An upgraded version of the site is currently being developed in response to feedback from staff and students involved in the pilot. Version two of Passportfolio will be built in a way which allows the potential for integration into other e-learning resources including Virtual Learning Environments and www.mychoicenotts.com, Nottinghamshire’s Common Prospectus.

If you are a Nottinghamshire school, college or partner organisation, wishing to use Passportfolio with young people, please have a look at the links to presentations and supporting material on this page.
