What are ePortfolios?
An educational ePortfolio often includes a digital collection of artifacts that represents a student’s learning. These can include essays, posters, photographs, videos, artwork, and other course-related assignments or extra-curricular aspects of student life.
How can ePortfolios be used in courses?
ePortfolios can be used to document knowledge and skills, track learning, reflect on development, and monitor overall program performance. As well, they can be used for just a single course, or for the duration of an entire academic program.
