After Boston in 2011, ePIC 2012 will host the ePortfolio World Summit, also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the International ePortfolio & Identity Conference.

The conference provides a forum where researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, teachers, trainers, human resource managers and technologists can discuss theoretical and practical aspects in the planning, design, implementation and impact of ePortfolio and identity programmes, applications and services. Past events have resulted in transnational projects, contributions to policies and standards, networks and international partnerships as well as numerous publications.

Authors are invited to address issues in relation to:

development of lifelong learner / professional / citizen identity;
integrative learning and holistic development;
individual / community /organisational ePortfolios and identities development; distributed communities of practice:
continuing professional development and sustainable employability;
assessment, recognition and accreditation of learning (formal, informal, lifelong and life-wide).
