Task 1: What is an E-Portfolio?
An E-Portfolio is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time.
Why using an E-portfolio for personal and teaching reasons? The uses of e-portfolios are most common in the courses with departments of education.
The electronic portfolio is a collection of a teacher’s work that provides a way to organize, archive, and display work. They provide the opportunity to review, communicate and give feedback in an asynchronous manner. A teaching e-portfolio is used to showcase career accomplishments. There are teachers who use e-portfolios to record course or discipline designs that may be shared with colleagues to promote teaching and learning.
What are the benefits of an E-Portfolio?
In general e-portfolios promote critical thinking and support the development of technology literacy skills.
E-portfolios help to foster an independent and autonomous way of thinking. This is in large part because people must focus on their collective work, think about how it will be portrayed, and what the work says about them as an individual.
The electronic portfolio, is a more formal setting where students must apply both their knowledge of how the web works and the message they want to convey.
E-portfolios, like traditional portfolios, can facilitate students' reflection on their own learning, leading to more awareness of learning strategies and needs.
The main purpose is to provide an avenue for communication between student and instructor. An assessment portfolio will demonstrate skill and competence in a particular domain or area.
