 E-PORTFOLIO |
| A portfolio is a purposeful collection of work, which illustrates efforts, progress and achievement in one or more areas over time. An electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) uses digital technologies to collect and organize portfolio artifacts in many media types (such as audio, video, graphics and text). Check the video “ePortofolio for Starters” for a quick overview.
An e-portfolio can also provide opportunities for self-reflection and goal-setting. One important and long-lasting outcomes of producing an ePortfolio is self-esteem building, which comes from recording and reflecting on various achievements and career success. When utilized on learning events, learners can use it to demonstrate competence, reflect on their learning and exhibit progress over a period of time. An ePortfolio can also be used a new form of assessment. Learners can be evaluated on the outcomes of a course based on the artifacts they exhibit on their e-portfolios; it can present an evolution of work in response to interactions with instructors, mentors, peers, etc. See the video below for an example of using ePortfolio for learning. In an ePortfolio, you can collect, select, build and publish your best work using electronic technology as the container for everything you’ve produced. Collecting and sharing your work within an ePortfolio can provide a great way to reflect on your work, career goals, personal and career development, and life experiences. You can then select the packages you want to share with different audiences, purposes, and circumstances.[1] |
