New Multi-Port from MKM is a flexible e-portfolio designed to easily manage all aspects of assessment and evidence-based reflective learning.
Modular in design, Multiport can be extended and customised to provide the features required of its user’s curriculum - from formal competency-based assessments to online spaces where learners can reflect informally on their experiences.
The product suite constitutes three core elements, targeted to different assessment styles and learning methods that work seamlessly together or stand-alone.
Thought-Port is a blog-like reflection space for learners to keep a log of their learning and experiences, chat about them with other centre members, and map experiences against a qualification framework.
Skills-Port enables learners to manage formal assessments. Evidence of learning can be mapped to structured requirements, whether NVQ, a Foundation Degree, or a particular set
of work-based competencies.
Centre-Port offers remote tutor and assessor support, online, allowing staff to keep in touch with learners whether in or remote from the workplace.
Unique in Europe, HCSIT connects ideas, people and organisations in the field of digital technologies and human capital and takes place in conjunction with ePortfolio 2007, the key international event for the growing community of e-portfolio professionals - and now in its fifth year.
MKM is a silver sponsor of both events, expected to attract over 500 decision-makers from human resource, employment and industry sectors, education and training sector, as well as public sector bodies.

NOTES TO EDITORS
MKM Multi-Port – origins
Multi-Port is a development of the work-based and competency-based assessment systems for qualifications created by MKM with partners including Foundation Degree Forward (the UK government agency for Foundation Degrees), leading Higher Education institutions and sector skills bodies developing NVQs.
MKM Multi-Port - the future
Taking advantage of the leading-edge technologies being developed in its labs, MKM is extending and adapting Multi-Port during 2008 with additional releases including:
Mobile-Port - enabling assessments to be created online, and then delivered direct to learners’ smartphones or PDAs.
Card-Port - integrating Multi-Port with a skills passport-type smartcard system, this enables learners to carry a secure record of their learning and achievement that can be read straight in to a desktop or workstation using a contact-less card reader, and that can easily be integrated with personal ID systems.
