Standard Pattern
Apply to HE Use Case
A set of 4 web services help me develop a profile
of myself in terms of the course entry profile
setting out the requirements for a particular
course at a particular HEI. I discuss the profile
with my advisor. (IAG stands for Information,
Advice and Guidance. Web Service 4 permits
formative assessment for IAG or summative
assessment for a formal reference)

WS 1 calls the entry profile into a blank
structured personal statement

WS 3 helps link assertions and activities to
evidence in my eP

Standard Pattern
Apply to HE Use Case
WS 4 allows my adviser to formatively assess the
statement AND ALSO allows my referee to make a
summative assessment of the statement.
This pattern has a strong association with
diagnostic, formative summative assessment

First iteration context for the use case
This Profiling Service enables me to develop a
profile of myself in terms of the profile of an
opportunity, such as an HE course or a job.
Typically the trigger for the initial use case is
an Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) session
with an advisor, prompting the potential
applicant to use a Discovery Service Having
identified some possibilities I use the Profiling
Service. The loop may be completed many times
until I wish to make a formal application
8
2nd iteration feedback induction
There is an outline spec of web services for a
centralised admissions process that can produce
feedback.
I am given a commented version of the assessed
statement. I use WS 1-4 to re-factor the
statement meet my HE advisor for the 1st time.
I draw up an action plan for my HE use of
e-Portfolio.
9
Third iteration
Unsuccessful applicants receive the same feedback
that they review before meeting their advisor.

Locating e-Portfolio

• Here, an e-Portfolio engine provides and receives
  information from a service.
• The services do not have to be part of the same
  system as the e-Portfolio

13
Locating e-Portfolio

• For example, the Discovery Service in this
  instance is not directly linked to the
  e-Portfolio.

• Services and repositories can be indirectly
  related to e-Portfolio.

Neither the services consuming and producing
information nor the repositories storing that
information need to be contained within an
e-Portfolio system.
