This document discusses the use of ePortfolios at the Rovira i Virgili University in Spain. It provides context about the university's education reality and the goal of finding a viable solution to a previously identified problem. It then describes the ePortfolio initiative undertaken at the university, including how it was used for formative assessment. Key aspects that were considered in the initiative included whether the ePortfolio would be decentralized or centralized, open or closed, public or private, and long or short term. Reflection, interaction, self-assessment, and monitoring learning were also discussed.

37. ePortfolio the conceptWe believe that the term is perhaps too general and becoming overtaken by events as the learning technology market evolves. On one hand I prefer the concept of a person’s individual learning space, such that the individual is in control of what they identify as their tailored learning space, which embraces their social networking space and which allows them to showcase and to grant access selectively.Rob Arntsen
