“An e-portfolio is an electronic formatfor learners to record their work,their achievements and theirgoals, to reﬂect on theirlearning, and to share and besupported in this.” Banks, 2004

“...ideas of what an e-portfolio is arecomplex and to an extent thedeﬁnition and purpose will varydepending on the perspective fromwhich a particular person is approachingthe concept...”http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/darthdowney/ JISC ePortfolio Infokit
