“In an essay in the current issue of Academic Commons, three researchers write that “ePortfolios may be the most likely vehicle to help us make the transition to an academy of the future that is both relevant and authoritative.”
The article recognises the diversity and flexibility of ePortfolios and lists four main features:
- The ability to incorporate multimedia elements to support learning
- Linking together different areas of their learning in one environment
- Higher levels of engagement and immersion, retention and grades compared to those not using eportfolios
- Tracking progress of students over the duration of the course
