Abstract
This chapter shows the development of an ePortfolio environment enhanced with learning analytics, to be used at the workplace in medical, veterinary, and teacher education. Evaluation took place by means of a quasi-experimental design regarding the impact of this environment on trainees’ motivation, their assessment experience, and their use. Data gathered in four institutes for medical, veterinary, and teacher education (n = 217) showed that trainees were highly motivated for their internships and positively evaluated the perceived feedback. The use of learning analytics features varied. In general visual feedback by means of a timeline of trainees’ progress was mostly used, while trainees barely used the features with written feedback. It is concluded that the promise of learning analytics connected to ePortfolios can only be fulfilled when developed and implemented through the eyes of the users.
