From paper to online—the electronic practice webfolio: A reflective account

Portfolios are a frequently used tool for recording, cataloguing and presenting reflections for revalidation purposes, and are used by a number of healthcare professions. More recently, with the development of online resources, the webfolio has become more commonplace in midwifery undergraduate programmes. This article will review the literature in relation to portfolios and outline the key stages in the development and implementation of a webfolio in a midwifery undergraduate programme. The audit of compliance in students and sign off midwifery mentors for the first cohort who used the webfolio will be presented.
