Meet Portflow at ILTA EdTech Conference 2026

June 3 & 4 | Dublin City University

As digital transformation reshapes the landscape of higher education, assessment practices are under increasing re-evaluation. Across institutions, students and educators alike are calling for approaches that are more authentic, inclusive, and aligned with real-world learning. Technology-enhanced assessment is emerging as a key enabler supporting learner agency, improving feedback, and making learning visible across the journey. ILTA 2026 is an ideal space to explore new ideas, share innovations, and reflect on how digital tools can support more meaningful, future-ready assessment strategies.

Are you interested in fostering career-readiness with holistic, AI-resistant assessment and learner agency? Be sure to drop by our purple Portflow booth to discover our Student-Owned Learning & Assessment Portfolio. We would love to connect with you there!

Portflow is the student-owned learning & assessment portfolio dedicated to enhancing assessment by streamlining programme-level assessment processes. As universities rethink their assessment and curriculum designs in light of generative AI, Portflow offers an important advantage: it prioritises process over product and empowers learners to personalise how they demonstrate their progress towards achieving learning outcomes. Portflow enables institutions to…:

  • … integrate feedback into learning, prioritise process over product.
  • track skill development across courses, units, work-integrated learning (WIL) and extracurricular activities.
  • … build assessments that are more authentic, resilient to AI, and meaningful for real-world application.
  • … deliver a smooth user experience, through its strong synergy with the VLE and intuitive user interface.

Universities increasingly recognise ePortfolios as a critical enabler of authentic assessment, longitudinal skills development, and graduate employability. However, institution-wide adoption remains challenging due to fragmented practice, limited tool capability, and sustainability concerns. This case study presents the University of Limerick’s (UL) design, implementation, and governance of a centrally supported, enterprise ePortfolio service that embeds portfolio practice directly into teaching, learning, and assessment workflows.

Key insights include the importance of embedding portfolio activity within assessment design at programme level, the value of centrally governed templates combined with disciplinary autonomy, and the role of early pilots in reducing institutional risk. The case offers a transferable model for institutions seeking to scale ePortfolio practice while aligning assessment, skills development, and employability within long-term curriculum transformation.

“For us, Portflow is an effective platform to help us achieve our objectives. It offers a straightforward and user-friendly way to support active and conscious skill development. Building a culture of skills development and skills capture is a challenge, but now we have the right technology. It’s now up to us to build the right mindset!”

Chris McInerney, Director of the Transferable Skills Unit at the University of Limerick

Empowering Institutions to Rethink Their Assessment in the Age of AI

The advent of generative AI forces us to rethink outdated assessment methods and transition to developmentally oriented education, ensuring that diplomas retain their value and curricula are more closely aligned with professional practice.

A digital portfolio like Portflow is a crucial link in this transformation to an AI-resistant assessment strategy. It provides the digital infrastructure needed to shift the focus to holistic, developmentally oriented, and longitudinal assessment, ensuring that every graduate can present a verifiable and authentic portfolio of competency development.

In this whitepaper, we explain why a developmentally oriented approach is important for future-proof assessment and examine practical examples from several leading Dutch educational institutions.

Meet the Portflow team in Dublin!

You’re always welcome to join us at our purple booth for a spontaneous chat with Jas and Thomas, but if it suits you better to reserve a fixed time slot, feel free to already book a meeting in advance.
