Your e-portfolio
As a student, you have access to an individual e-portfolio which comprises a record of all completed HEAR verifiable activities. Named staff members will act as activity owners for each of these activities and will be responsible for ensuring that you are credited for your full participation in any of these. They will record this at any point up until two months prior to your graduation.
Upon graduation, you will be invited to choose which activities (up to five) that you wish to appear on your HEAR.
Students' activities are entered into their e-portfolio and then are automatically added to their Portfolio of Activity in their Toolbox.
Students are encouraged to reflect on the skills developed through participation in such activities.
Graduating students can choose which activities (up to five) they wish to appear on their HEAR.
Your HEAR
The HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Report) is an electronic record which a student receives upon graduation, replacing a more traditional printed transcript. The HEAR contains ‘institutionally verified’ information about the details of a student’s degree programme, including modules studied and marks gained in all years of study.
Section 6.1.2 of the HEAR is a verified list of certain co- and extra- curricular activities that the student has participated in and that have been verified by the University, each accompanied by a small description of what the student had the opportunity to learn and take part in so that potential employers can get an overview of the student’s skills and experiences.
Students are able to choose which of their verified co- and extra- curricular activities will appear on their final HEAR up to a maximum of five.
