Abstract This paper shares the journey of a project to develop a customised ePortfolio for Indigenous teacher support staff in NT Schools, in order that those in other jurisdictions with similar needs can be informed of its deliberations and outcomes. It describes the way a geographically dispersed project team worked in partnership to negotiate the opportunities and challenges presented during the development and implementation of an ePortfolio framework. This framework is called ePIE (ePortfolios for Indigenous Educators). Without many of the constraining specifications often imposed on such an ePortfolio implementation projects, ePIE’s development was able to focus on the needs and aspirations of Indigenous learners in their workplaces and worlds. With due consideration for the needs of RTO assessors and Northern Territory Department of Education and Training policies, the pilot phase of the project has demonstrated the potential of ePIE to be adopted as a flexible and sustainable learning pathway for Indigenous Educators.
