An ePortfolio is an online record of formal and informal learning experiences that allows individuals to display personal knowledge, make connections between different types of learning, and articulate career goals. Implementing an ePortfolio project in an organization permits HR professionals to get a holistic view of employees' knowledge, skills, and abilities. Building ePortfolios can align individual and organizational objectives by leveraging talent to meet organizational needs and promoting networking.
