Digital storytelling for the future
No full textA case study from Harlow College. One of a number of case studies focusing on e-portfolio practice included in the e-portfolio guide 'How to enhance student learning, progression and employability with e-portfolios', published April 2019.

The final output of the project was to create a toolkit for universities wishing to start or that are in their initial stages of e-textbook publication as an alternative to expensive textbooks from commercial publishers.
This paper will show how the toolkit will provide practical help and support to those universities. Furthermore, it will discuss some of the key takeaways from our author motivation study around the need for cultural change within institutions and sector buy-in.
Finally, Jisc Collections’ proposed new e-textbook strategy will be discussed, a core element of which will be to help institutions make the business case for e-textbook publishing.
