Abstract
This paper reports on a doctoral research project which examines the nature of the learning experience of using an eportfolio and whether it enhances the development of criticality among flexible learners. It aims to interrogate the process of the development of criticality rather than the product. The project adopts a case study approach, following 20 flexible learners over the course of one academic year in a Dublin based third level institution.
