What is an E-Portfolio?

An E-Portfolio
Is a collection of a students work that can
advance learning by providing a way for
them to organize, archive, and display work.
The electronic format allows an instructor to
evaluate student portfolios via the Internet,
CD-ROM, DVD, or zip disk. Electronic
portfolios have become a popular
alternative to paper-based portfolios
because they provide the opportunity to
review, communicate and give feedback in
an asynchronous manner.

with one another so, users do not have to worry
about losing or misplacing documents.
Multimedia: Once the student work is organized,
users can add easily add sound, pictures, graphics
and video to the electronic portfolio.
Computer Skills: Students gain valuable computer
skills while creating and editing their portfolio.
Assessment:Electronic portfolios directly relate
student work as an evidence of learning to the
defined standards or criteria.

Types of E-portfolios

Developmental/Growth Portfolios:demonstrate the

advancement and development of student skills over a
period of time. Developmental portfolios are considered
works-in-progress and include both self-assessment and
reflection/feedback elements. The primary purpose is to
provide communication between students and teachers.
Assessment Portfolios:demonstrate student
competence and skill for well-defined areas. These may be
end-of-course or program assessments primarily for
evaluating student performance. The primary purpose is to
evaluate student competency as defined by program
standards and outcomes.

Types of E-portfolios
Hybrids:Most portfolios are hybrids of the three
types of portfolios listed above. Rarely will you find
a portfolio that is strictly used for assessment,
development or showcase purposes.

of electronic portfolio development.
If you do not require participants to self-reflect
on the artifacts they add to the portfolio,
they will not gain from the rich learning
experience that e-portfolio development can
provide!
