An electronical portfolio also known as an ePortfolio have been used for many years.

Electronic portfolios can be used for learning and assessments in students’ education career.

They can be used to collect documents and produce learning in different formats. “ePortfolios, as

tools, allow students to have their own set of management tools that they control and own so their

learning is longitudinal instead of episodic. (Batson, 2010)” A portfolio can house a student work

they have completed over a period of time. They can also be used for presentation to provide

information to others. Their work will not be erased since it is saved to their ePortfolio, they will

be able to view their work in future. When a learner is constructing their ePortfolio repetition

were occur during planning and change the portfolio over a period of time.

During the constructing an effective portilio there are important factors to remember such

as you will be collecting, selecting, reflecting, and connecting. All of those important factors will

help students when they are constructing their portfolio for learning. A learning ePortfolio will

consist of a student organizing information they have learned. Their instructor will be able to

view their gained knowledge they have learned in the course when the portfolio is designed and

completed. When students are finished constructing their porfilo they can share their work with

peers to receive feedback.

An ePortfolio is useful in displaying a reflection in a student’s effort and progress over a

period of time. Instructors can measure students can also create an ePortfolio for assignments

they have completed prior for their instructor to assess their work. When students are

constructing a portfolio for the use of being assessed, they will collect all their completed

assignments. Their instructor will be able to view all of the assignments that have been

completed all at one time. The instructor will be able to grade the students on a variety of

assignments through a certain period of time, rather than one assignment at a time.
