An e-portfolio is a collection of digital artifacts created and owned by the learner to demonstrate their experiences, achievements, and learning over time. It can include media like audio, video, photos and blogs. E-portfolios provide learners with a structured way to record and reflect on their learning journey and share their work with others.

2. “An e-portfolio is a learner-driven
collection of digital objects
demonstrating experiences,
achievements, and evidence of
learning. E-portfolios provide learners
with a structured way of recording
their learning experiences…and can
include a range of digital evidence
such as audio, video, photographs,
and blogs.”
-Dr. Helen Barrett
