The members of a European initiative to accredit informal learning in the workplace have agreed to use MyKnowledgeMap's e-portfolio solution to support it.

The European Initiative for the Promotion of Informal Learning (EIPIL-PAN) seeks to help employers recognise the value of informal learning in the workplace and develop a framework by which it can be accredited.

This week, MyKnowledgeMap attended a meeting in Athens with the other EIPIL-PAN partners to discuss the proposed e-portfolio solution. MyKnowledgeMap’s e-portfolio was accepted by all partners.

MyKnowledgeMap's e-portfolio will support the implementation of a single framework to accredit informal learning in the retail, hospitality and IT sectors.

The EIPIL partners are MRS Consultancy, K.Kampanis and CO LP, Asset Technology, Cluster of Multimedia and Information Systems Association, Economic and Social Training Institute, The Retail Academy, MyKnowledgeMap, European Institute for E-Learning (EIfEL) and European Institute for Technology in Education.

The EIPIL-PAN project is funded under the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme from October 2008 to September 2010.

The European Initiative for the Promotion of Informal Learning (EIPIL) has been created from the Leonardo Da Vinci Pilot Project INFLOW – Informal Learning Opportunities in the workplace. The overall co-ordinator of post-project activities under EIPIL is The MRS Consultancy Ltd UK.
