The document discusses the potential of different ICT tools for use in graduate students' digital portfolios. It analyzes tools like weblogs, wikis, online communities, podcasts and sharing tools according to four strategies: discursive, adaptive, interactive, and reflective. Each tool is found to support competencies related to at least one of the four strategies, such as communication, collaboration, reflecting on one's learning process, and organizing knowledge in different formats. The document concludes that ICT tools allow students to develop skills in areas like expressing ideas, highlighting progress, receiving feedback, and structuring teaching and learning.
