This document provides an overview of electronic portfolios (e-portfolios). It defines an e-portfolio as a digital collection of work and achievements that can be used for assessment, development and showcase purposes. The document outlines key features of e-portfolios like multimedia capabilities and the development of computer skills. It also discusses types of e-portfolios, components that should be included, benefits and potential drawbacks. The conclusion states that while promising, e-portfolios have not yet become mainstream but institutions are recognizing their value as assessment tools that encourage self-study.

3. What is an E-Portfolio?
A portfolio is a collection
of work developed
across various
contexts over time. The
portfolio can boost
learning by providing
students and/or
faculty with a way to
organise, archive and
demonstrate pieces of
work.
The electronic format allows
faculty and other
professionals to evaluate
student portfolios utilising
technology, which may
involve the Internet, CD-
ROM, video, animation or
audio. E- portfolios are
becoming a popular
alternative to traditional
paper-based portfolios
because they offer
practitioners and peers the
opportunity to review,
communicate and assess
portfolios in an
asynchronous manner

4. FEATURES OF E-PORTFOLIOS
1.MULTIMEDIA
Once the student work is
organised, users can
easily add sound,
pictures, graphics and
videos to the electronic
portfolio

5. 2.COMPUTER SKILLS
Students can gain valuable computer skills, which is
considered to be quite necessary in today’s world,
while developing and editing thier portfolios.

6. 3. ASSESSMENT
E-portfolios directly relate a student’s work to the
defined standards or criteria.E- porftolios exhibit
wider dimensions of learning than just the
traditional methods (paper-pencil reports or
exercises). For instance, within an electronic
portfolio, a student can add digital audio, video,
and graphics to document evidence of learning.

7. • Because ePortfolios can provide a
means for assessment based on
evidence of an individual’s growth
over time and effort- not a list of test
scores.
 Because evaluating the learner’s work
using a variety of artifacts - graphics,
pictures, multimedia, stories,
journals, or projects - provides a view
into the individual’s mind and
capabilities as well as the teaching
and learning environment
 Because the collection of work
provides a powerful and
comprehensive digital resume of the
multiple intelligences of an
individual, as a linguist, an artist, a
scientist, a mathematician, an athlete,
a reflective learner, a self learner, or a
cooperative learner.
* Because a longitudinal view
of a learner’s work paints a
picture of growth, progress,
and continuity over time that
the learner can collect, select,
and reflect upon to present a
profile of accomplishment
based on evidence
WHY TO USE AN E-PORFOLIO?

8. TYPES OF E-PORTOLOIOS
1. DEVELOPMENTAL
2. ASSESSMENT
3. SHOWCASE
4. HYBRIDS

9. 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 faculty.
1. DEVELOPMENTAL

10. 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
2.ASSESSMENT

11. demonstrate exemplary work and student
skills. This type of portfolio is created at the
end of a program to highlight the quality of
student work. Students typically show this
portfolio to potential employers to gain
employment at the end of a degree program.
3. SHOWCASE

12. 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.
Occasionally, you may come across showcase
portfolios that do not show evidence of self-
reflection, rubrics for assessment or feedback.
4. HYBRID

13. *Student Information: name, contact information,
major, graduation date, etc
 Table of Contents: or various way to display links
to contents of the portfolio
 Learner Goals
 Curricular standards and/or criteria: used to
align the contents of the portfolio to institutional,
departmental or course curriculum (often
accomplished by rubrics)
 Rubrics: can be used to assess student work.
A rubric is a criteria-rating scale, which
provides the instructor with a tool to track
student performance. They also inform
students of the
course/departmental/institutional
expectations
 Guidelines: used to select
appropriate artifacts to keep the
collection from growing
haphazardly
 Artifacts: examples of student
work including documents, images,
video, audio, etc. (can be chosen by
student, instructor or both)
 Instructor feedback
 Self-reflection pieces: a
portfolio without reflections is just
a multimedia presentation or an
electronic resume

BENEFITS of E-PORTFOLIOS

15. 1. TİME
A professional portfolio requires constant updating to
include the most current projects. Except for graphic
designers or writers whose work is already in digital
format, the process of converting images and projects
into digital files can be very time consuming. The
presentation of the electronic portfolio also needs to stay
current, and this will also require updating. Depending
on how busy you are or how often you add new projects,
older projects may have a short shelf-life, and replacing
them with the most current project examples is essential
before submitting a portfolio to new prospective
employers.
DRAWBACKS

16. Electronic portfolios may need to be saved in different
formats to prevent compatibility issues with the
prospective employers you email it to. For instance, if
your version of Microsoft Word saves files as .docx
files, the person you send them to may not be able to
open the file. Unless it is specified in advance, there is
no way of knowing whether your electronic portfolio
will be compatible with the person you are sending it
to. Setting up your digital portfolio on a website will
eliminate this drawback.
2. COMPATIBILITY

17. The convenience of an electronic portfolio
is considered an advantage, although it
also can be a drawback. You can bring a
disc, memory card, or web address to an
interview and expect to be able to present
your portfolio on whatever computer they
have available. You will still need to have a
hard copy with you even if you sent an
electronic copy in advance.

25. E-portfolios are claimed to be the greatest
educational technology developement
since the adoptation of course
management systems. However, albeit
promising, they are not yet a
mainstream higher education
technology.
E-portfolios have recently become a
major method of assessment for
students, faculties, and staff that
document skill sets reflected on
learning, accomplishments, and
prospective goals.
Lately, institutions are beginning to
see that e-porfolios are a feasible
tool that encourage self-study.
Thus, an increasing number of
institutions are now recognising
that they are high-level
implications. Inevitably, as e –
portfolio applications develop,
they will get integrated into
campus systems. That is why, we,
sooner or later, will become a part
of this innovative advance
teaching/learning system.
