Sandra Bichl was born to a Polish mother and an Austrian father and grew up in a home where learning of languages was celebrated.

This prepared her for a career in recruitment, business development and training. Youd be forgiven for thinking she is older than her twenty six years seeing as following her studies in Austria she has already had a busy career in Hungary, Latin America and now Poland.

Electronic Portfolios have been with us for more almost two decades, used primarily in education to store documents and reflect on learning, provide feedback for improvement, and showcase achievement for accountability or employment.

Social networks have emerged over the last five years, used by individuals and groups to store documents and share experiences, showcase accomplishments, communicate and collaborate with friends and family, and, in some cases, facilitate employment searches. The boundaries between these two processes are gradually blurring.
