Institutions and Individuals
While most of our work is with international universities and colleges, we are frequently asked for help by individuals so in the 'Quick links' on the left, you will find a number of sections aimed at students - both 'traditional' and lifelong learners. These sections are drawn from the experience of working with the programme design of universities and professional institutions all round the world so make the most of it and contact us to add to it if you would like to do so.

Work on ePortfolios continues so email for how you can either contribute to research or benefit from supported portfolio usage. If you want to use portfolios (or know more before you do), we can offer you a range of solutions - both our own and those of others! How mad/honest is that?
Centre for Recording Achievement
Making learning possible, the key aim of ElementE, is complemented by lifelong reflective learning and the use of portfolios or other means of recording formal and informal learning achievements. Overseas institutions and individuals interested in joining or obtaining more information should contact Gillian who is the CRA's Associate Director (Overseas).
