Abstract

This paper reports on research undertaken based on socio-cultural perspectives and developed within an activity theory (Engestrom, 2001) framework. The ongoing projects involve the collection of evidence of workplace based evidence of skill and knowledge acquisition by bakery apprentices. Mobile phones are used to collect photographic, video, audio and text evidence. This multi-media evidence was initially archived on photo and video storing and sharing websites. The advance of social networking websites afforded opportunities to migrate evidence to social networking sites structured as eportfolios. © 2009 Selena Chan.
