12. WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?
“Check [progress], achievements,
etc.”
“…I am sure it will be helpful in next semesters. I always
lose my physical portfolios.”
“I think it is useful because it reflects your work throughout
the semester.”
“Yes, it is really helpful because I can do self-evaluation.
Besides it allows me to think and reflect on the learning
process I've been through."
“to follow your own progress and evaluate if your are improving”

13. WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?
“I think it could help in the future when I [need it].”
“Personally, the developing of e-portfolios works better for
me because I can edit the content of my work based on
the comments that the teachers leave for me, so I think
that at the end I have a better product if I work with [e-
portfolios].”
“Yes, I like e- portfolios because throughout the semester I
work and everything is saved there, I do not have to
arrange everything till the end. I [optimize] time,
organization. Besides I do not suffer if I do not have a
printer and also I save paper.”
“it is good for the planet”

14. WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?
“It helps students because it can show people how or
what we think about the [language] and teaching.”
“In my experience, an e-portfolio represents a better
option than a printed portfolio [for] various reasons; first,
it's cheaper than the latter and also eco-friendly. It's also
easier to use when it comes to feedback comments from
my teachers and/or classmates. In general, I prefer them
over traditional portfolios.”

15. WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?
“Besides being environmentally friendly, it allows for better
preservation of information and the possibility to open it up
as Free Content (making it available under an open
license for others to see and reuse). I am an open-source
kind of guy, I use free software and my computer uses an
open-source OS, and I follow free content initiatives such
as the Wikimedia Foundation, so this is important to me.”
“It [helps] me to increase my confidence [in] the products I
do. In addition, it is good receiving feedback from my
classmates or even other unknown people who are
interested in my products.”
