[The digital portfolio as the cornerstone of clinical learning]

Abstract

The 2009 training reference frame was designed in accordance with the development of students' learning capacities and the French health context. As part of this necessary development, nurse training is based on a three-party contract between the student, the trainer and the internship tutor. The portfolio, used as an assessment aid and a tool to monitor learning, makes the progress and the acquisition of skills visible during the three years of training. As it is digitised, information concerning the internship can be shared in real time.
