What is an ePortfolio??

• "A structured selection of evidence of achievements, with reflection"
  (Hartnell-Young)
• "A digital repository with a purpose"
• "An inventory of acquired knowledge/skills/abilities"

An e-portfolio can be a web-based information management system that uses electronic media and services. The learner builds and maintains a digital repository of artefacts, which they can use to demonstrate competence and reflect on their learning. Having access to their records, digital repository, feedback and reflection students can achieve a greater understanding of their individual growth, career planning and CV building. Accreditation for prior and/or extra-curricular experiences and control over access makes the e-portfolio a powerful tool.
