ABSTRACT
The aim of this workshop is to facilitate collaboration between employers, educational institutions and students to jointly promote work-integrated learning through ePortfolio development.
Many tertiary institutions worldwide require students to have completed internships before, during or after their studies. For the purpose of this paper, internship as part of a formalised curriculum is referred to as work integrated learning (WIL).
Participatory design trends will be applied during this workshop to particularly obtain a better understanding of the challenges and current practices in work integrated learning to find possible solutions for future engagement with all stakeholders.
