What is an L-Portfolio?
L – Portfolio is a collection of work, skills and interests (evidence) in an electronic format that showcases learning and experience over time.
When you think about your L-Portfolio and the types of evidence that it contains, it is important to think carefully about its purpose and intended audience.
Your L-Portfolio may contain all or some of the following:
Recognition of Prior Learning application:
Our RPL tool is in the form of an L-Portfolio, and allows students to put on record all their life experiences, interests and skills. Not only will their academic achievement be listed out, but also any life experiences that could potentially be taken into account for extra credit as Recognition of Prior Learning. For instance, an individual who has taken care of his or her bedridden parent has already gained valuable caregiver experience, which could be chalked up against practical expertise and added to their resume.
This L-Portfolio could be sent to employers when applying for work, to universities while applying for extra credits through RPL, or in any other ways to market their expertise.
Showcase/Professional L Portfolios
These L-Portfolios are used as a way to demonstrate (showcase) the highlights of a student’s academic and professional career.
Learning Portfolios
These portfolios are typically created by a student as part of a course as a way to demonstrate learning and the learning process. These portfolios are often shared with other students to elicit peer feedback. Learning portfolios support the idea of formative feedback as an essential part of the learning process.

I came to Australia with the sole focus of providing better opportunities for me and my family. On the way, I discovered a purposeful career. I’ve tried my hand in many industries, but it’s nursing that stuck with me the most. A career in nursing aligned with my core values of caring for others and service. It fulfilled my intellectual appetite for working in the medical field.
After years of exploring various industries, Paula Baglieri discovered her true calling: a rewarding and profoundly impactful career. Her passion for healthcare and dedication to helping others ignited her interest in nursing, driving her to find the right educational pathway. That’s when she saw the Diploma of Nursing at IHNA, a program designed to provide hands-on training, invaluable industry exposure, and a solid foundation for a prosperous future in healthcare.
At IHNA, we are committed to elevating the student experience by pushing the boundaries of vocational education, whether online or on-campus.
