Abstract: The paper adapts relevant threshold elements that are widely reported from the literature as fundamentals of The adaptation process will lead to final design of conceptual framework for implementing learning e-Portfolios in order to can get deeper insights about students’ progress. However There is scanty research literature recorded on the detailed insights, which provide a clear picture of the implementation of learning e-Portfolios for learning to strengthen their effectiveness in the learning process in the undergraduate programmes in South African higher education context. In this paper, the aim is to develop and design a structure for implementing learning e-Portfolios in the context of a particular South African Higher Education institution.

Objectives

Over the past decade, the higher education has seen dawn of technology enhanced learning rapidly changing the teaching and learning landscape. The purpose of this paper is to design a conceptual framework for implementation of an orchestrated learning process for development of learning e-Portfolios. The paper draws from the theory of connectivism as framing theory of the paper. In addition, various key elements that are widely reported in the literature as fundamentals of enhancing learning process that supports self-reflective practice as a result of direct interaction with learning e-Portfolios were reviewed. The paper specifically positions the elements involved in the implementation process of learning e-Portfolios within the learning theory of connectivism. The aim for linking the two is to establish a conceptual framework which would guide facilitation of learning process as a result of direct interaction with learning e-Portfolios in order to get deeper insights about students’ progress. The resulting link between extrapolated elements of implementing learning e-Portfolios within connectivism theory will be used to foster development of learning e-Portfolios for use in a rural and previously disadvantaged institution of higher learning in South Africa.
