An e-portfolio is a personal digital collection that describes a person's learning, experiences, and achievements. There are different types, including assessment, showcase, development, and reflective portfolios. E-portfolios can be used by learners, institutional staff, and employers. They contain digital artifacts like documents, PDFs, videos, and walkthroughs. Creating an effective e-portfolio involves defining its purpose, collecting relevant artifacts, selecting artifacts to meet goals, writing reflections, and publishing. E-portfolios allow students to modify and adapt their portfolio over time as their skills develop.
