Abstract
EPortfolio use has gained momentum over recent years and many university programs now include ePortfolios across their curriculum. ANMAC Nursing and Midwifery requirements are extensive, embedding ePortfolios throughout the dual degree of Bachelor of Nursing Science and Bachelor of Midwifery is considered a suitable method for students to collect and store evidence required for registration, provide excellent examples of their work and how it links with registration standards. EPortfolios were implemented in the first year of the dual degree at the University of the Sunshine Coast and continue across all 4 years of the student's learning journey. Each semester when students are on placement they can reflect and record their ongoing evidence of clinical experiences, so that the ePortfolio becomes a reflective digital record of their nursing and midwifery practice. EPortfolios provide clear links between clinical and professional development a skill, which is essential for the ongoing registration requirements of life-long learning post-graduation.
