Hello everyone,

I had the chance to interview Prof Dr Michael Sankey from Charles Darwin University in Australia recently for our podcast 'Create. Share. Engage.' It was great to catch up with him. I've known him for a very long time as he's been a long-standing member of the ePortfolios Australia community of practice. He started out writing HTML pages, then used various portfolio platforms throughout his university career, and transitioned to a non-institution owned site now that he is retired.

In this interview Michael emphasises the role of the portfolio to support emerging professionals. He advocates for institution-operated portfolio platforms to provide a space where employers looking at student portfolios can be assured that they are dealing with real students. Michael also makes the case for programmatic assessment as the next evolution in assessment and the key role that the portfolio plays in it.

Tune in!
