The ePortfolio is something that has taken off in recent times, especially in education. For students it is a very useful tool since in this way they can collect their work, organize it, file it and show it to their classmates and other people. This also allows the teacher to evaluate the students' portfolios as an alternative to paper portfolios because provide the opportunity to review, communicate, and provide feedback asynchronously. In addition, students can also reflect and see the progress of their work, which makes it an important piece of education.
Uses of ePortfolios are most common in courses with education departments. Student electronic portfolios are increasingly used in other disciplines
such as communications, mathematics, business, nursing, engineering, and architecture.
In education, electronic portfolios have certain main functions:
1- Document skills and learning
2- Record and track development within a program
3- Plan educational programs
4- Evaluate and monitor performance
5- Evaluate a course
In general, Eportfolios promote critical thinking and support the development of technological skills. Faculty now use electronic portfolios to record course or discipline designs that can be shared with colleagues to promote teaching and learning. Different types of files can be added here to make marking and other work easier for both the student and the teacher.
