What is an ePortfolio?

An ePortfolio is “a collection of authentic and diverse evidence, drawn from a larger archive, that represents what a person or organisation has learned over time, on which the person or organisation has reflected, and designed for presentation to one or more audiences for a particular rhetorical purpose".

Educause, NLII, 2003

ePortfolios: Plan, Manage, Reflect and Present Your Goals, Accomplishments and Expertise

The learning portfolio helps me to transit to the university’s study and life with a clear goal and direction.

Check out my learning outcomes and achievements please! I am so proud of myself.

I can easily create my CV and employment portfolios for job application. More importantly I have been planning and preparing well for it!

Having worked for a few years, I need to carefully determine my career path.
