About the I-Port
The I-Port is an interactive portfolio for education that allows students to easily create their own personalised and professional multi-page online space, either individually or as part of a group.
The I-Port is an exciting and engaging way to enable students to showcase their work and creative skills in a safe and secure online environment. Students can publish a range of multimedia formats on their I-Ports including audio, video, photography, blogs and essays.
Using the I-Port has been shown to improve the quality of provision and increase retention, achievement and progression while reducing the administrative burden of the assessment and accreditation process.
The I-Port has been developed with e-safety as a priority and comes with a suite of easy to use management tools that provide teachers and administrators with the ability to control their student I-Ports. Teachers can create portfolios, manage content and change privacy settings for an entire group of I-Ports from one location.
The I-Port increases student engagement, by offering an enjoyable and creative platform with which to communicate, work and showcase their skills through the process of experimentation, planning, activity and reflection.
Why choose the I-Port?
The I-Port has been developed specifically to meet the needs of teaching and learning in the digital world, exceeding the digital safeguarding recommendations laid out by the Government and the new Ofsted 'inspection and e-learning' guidance
The I-Port encompasses the e-learning ethos. The I-Port engages the digital generation of students that we now teach whilst providing the organisation an engaging platform to develop their use of online learning tools. But in an educationally based and safe alternative to other commercial websites such as social networking sites, that presently are a cause for concern for the educational sector.
The I-Port supports the inclusive provision of teaching and learning whilst increasing organisational efficiency. The fully customisable I-Port is web based and therefore it can be accessed at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection, by teachers, assessors or students.
Using the I-Port easy and quick to implement for any organsiation. There isn't any hardware or software that needs to be installed and training requirements are minimal with online and telephone support is provided by a dedicated I-Port team.
The I-Port increases practitioner and student engagement, by offering another platform through which to communicate and produce work.

'The young people that I work with already know how to use social networking sites and so the I-Port is intuitive for them, meaning it is easy to implement but offers a more appropriate professional and educational online experience'
