Collins, Emma; O'Brien, Ray
International Journal of ePortfolio, v8 n1 p43-55 2018
In 2015, the School of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic, a tertiary institution in Dunedin, New Zealand commenced using an ePortfolio platform with students in the Bachelor of Nursing program. A project was undertaken to evaluate the implementation of this technology and determine its ongoing use. This sequential, exploratory, mixed-methods research consisted of surveys and focus groups with relevant faculty and students, using the Technology Acceptance Model. The results showed that there was support for the ongoing use of the platform. Specific recommendations were made to increase the acceptance of the platform.
