Description

Electronic Portfolio case studies provide significant clues as to whether which user groups benefit the most of ePortfolio system implementations and they also cast light on the widespread belief that students seem to be most interested in the ways ePortfolios can flesh out their résumés, both before and after graduation (Batson, 2002). No doubt, at an institutional level these systems are useful in management, assessment and reviews of student coursework as well as programme development. Yet, there are areas where ePortfolio systems seem not to capture the needs of potential employers and it seems more work needs to be done in order to reflect skills acquired in affinitive spaces and informal learning practices. This brief summary does not attempt to provide answers but aims to raise questions.
