Policy and public agenda civil society issues and concerns

What issues are there which either stand in the way of the adoption of e-portfolio technology, or cause stakeholders concerns about it? At this point, enumerating the issues is a good start, to help people scope and plan responses and answers.

When e-portfolio ideas are raised in discussion with people who have relatively little familiarity with applying the concepts, it frequently occurs that basic issues are raised, often in objection. E.g.

• privacy and trust
• civil liberties
• e-inclusion
• accessibility
• community development
• social development
• economic development
• equality of opportunity
• mobility
• employment
• accreditation of prior learning (APL)
• national qualifications
• lifelong and lifewide learning
• labour market transparency, effectiveness, efficiency
• e-government administrative efficiency
• e-identity

Questions:

• What is the absolute and relative importance of these policy areas with respect to the e-portfolio agenda?
• Are there any significant omissions from the list?
• Who should be entrusted with tracking, influencing or implementing policy?

A separate page could be devoted to each area of great significance.
