ABSTRACT
Will e-portfolios, and e-learning more broadly, offer advantages to every student? With a general move within higher and further education to widen participation, students are now more diverse than ever before. We can no longer assume that students will be broadly similar in background, financial status, educational qualifications, culture or physical capability. Perhaps that was never a wise assumption, but it was certainly one which has underpinned the Fordist ‘production’ model of education where one undifferentiated educational ‘product’ was assumed to meet every student’s needs within a particular course.
