Discover the Power of a Learner Profile

The Learner Profile is part of PortalHQ, a platform already in use by over 200 schools across the Asia Pacific region. The development team has been working with schools for over 12 years and has won 8 industry awards along the way. The LPT is available as a stand-alone module without any other PortalHQ products.

Benefits for Students

Showcase Your Journey: Highlight your diverse skills, achievements, and learning experiences in a way that traditional transcripts simply can't.

Reflect and Grow: Engage in meaningful self-reflection and goal-setting to help articulate your personal growth and ambitions.

Open Doors: Use your Learner Profile for job applications, university portfolios, scholarships and more, showcasing your unique talents and experiences.

Benefits for Schools

Comprehensive Student Record: Schools can offer a detailed overview of a student's journey, giving teachers and parents valuable insights into each student's progress.

Enhanced Career Guidance: By understanding each student's unique abilities and aspirations, schools can provide more focused career advice, guiding students towards academic pathways and opportunities aligned with their interests and skills.

Improved Engagement: Students feel known and celebrated, while teachers and parents are given a natural talking point that leads to increased awareness, support, and encouragement.

Exemplar School - St Andrew's Anglican College

St Andrew's has been a leading school in the research, development, and implementation of a learner profile. Here is a short video that shows how the LPT is visualised on their portal, where it sits as a live and interactive document that parents and students can access at any time.

Unlock Potential, Track Progress, and Celebrate Achievement

We know that traditional testing doesn't capture each student's full capabilities. The Learner Profile seeks to address this. It captures a student's journey over a period of time, visualising the skills, involvement, capabilities, and personal growth. It helps us capture what makes each student genuinely unique and provides an opportunity to celebrate and encourage those personal traits that we value. 

How It Works

• Schools are guided through a design process by where the purpose and structure of their LPT are decided.
• LPT categories and credits are created in either the CANVAS learning management system or an alternative system, such as TASS, using a specific set of parameters and code that allows them to be extracted and visualised.
• Students fill in compulsory components and then choose from the curated list of credits to upload 'self-evidence'. Part of this evidence process involves self-reflection on goals met and personal growth.
• Teachers will then 'endorse' student submissions, often involving a conversation that benefits both by building relationships and celebrating often unknown involvement or achievements.
• The interactive LPT is then automatically updated on a portal set up by the PortalHQ developers. The portal visualizes the credits and gives students and parents instant access. The LPT can either sit on the portal or be printed off when needed for resumes or portfolios.

Each Learner Profile Transcript can be Customised

The PortalHQ team can help you design a contextualised LPT for your school. As seen above, elements such as categories and credit outcome architecture can be easily adapted to your specific needs.

Options include:

• Capture activities within a term, a year or 6 years
• Capture a specific signature program
• Capture specific students on a modified course pathway
• Capture all senior students as part of a graduate portfolio
• Reset the LPT each year or build over a number of years

Seamless Integration with CANVAS LMS (among other systems)

Integrating seamlessly with CANVAS LMS, the Learner Profile sits in a familiar platform for ease of use.  Schools have full flexibility in managing, updating, and sharing credit categories and outcomes ensuring that every student's learner profile is relevant and accessible. This integration simplifies the evidence submission through the assignment feature and staff endorsing is 'one click' through a rubric, making it simple and time efficient for staff to use. LPT can also link with other learning management systems and TASS.
