Introduction
TIPEIL web-based platform has been realised to
support the application, at experimental level,
of the Digital Portfolio Model, as a tool and a
methodology that the project aims at divulging
and improving, with the direct contribution of
field operators and experts.
8
Introduction
The research context to which TIPEIL project
refers is the valorisation of knowledge and
capabilities that young and adults, employed or
unemployed, achieved within non formal and
informal learning contexts, so as to foster their
placement or re-placement in the labour market.
9
Introduction
TIPEIL offers to all organisations and
professionals that will contribute to the
development of the Digital Portfolio Model, the
chance to share problems and solutions with other
European subjects. The datum from which we
start is to focus the attention on individual
learning, a knowledge implying skills, abilities
and capabilities, potential or acquired, that
must be read, understood and valorised, in order
to be able to help persons to find, create or
re-create their personal employment and living
path.
10
Introduction
Therefore, this platform and the methodology we
propose are addressed in particular to
organisations and operators (tutors, trainers,
counsellors, etc.) providing guidance,
counselling, training and employment services to
subjects young and adults that, for different
reasons, are at risk of socio-economic exclusion.

! NOTES
As you know, on the base of the methodology
proposed, to prove ones own Informal Learning
it is necessary to collect and/or create specific
material. This material must be as much various
and complete as possible. It means that audio
files, video files, photos and texts are
advisable. The platform allows you to upload all
typologies of files above mentioned.
45

At this regard, before going on, two aspects must
be pointed out. 1. If you decide to use photos
to prove your capability in doing one specific
activity, you have to create a sequence of photos
illustrating the different steps you follow to
achieve the final result. These photos must be
showed following a chronological order or
sequence order. The platform allows you to
upload your photos respecting this order.

• Up to the purpose, you need to create inside the
  system a photogallery for each specific activity
  you are illustrating within each specific
  photogallery that you will have to name you
  can cluster and organise all photos illustrating
  you doing step by step one specific activity.
