I have been an advocate for using ePortfolios for authentic assessment for quite some time. While I have made several attempts to help teachers learn to design and mange ePortfolios using a variety of digital tools to accomplish the task, I've discovered that teachers don't always have the time or patience to see it through. I've come to the conclusion that if we are going to use ePortfolios as a standard assessment tool, the teacher buy-in needs to begin with a tool that is easy to use. Fortunately, I have recently discovered Open School ePortfolio and I am excited about potential for success it offers.

Great and comprehensive list of all things related to ePortfolios.

Un eportfolio est défini comme étant une collection d'informations qui illustre la scolarité, l'apprentissage ou la vie professionnelle d'une personne à travers une sélection de résultats marquants au cours de formations ou d'études mais aussi qui regroupe les réflexions personnelles de l'apprenant sur son apprentissage, son parcours, la planification d'une carrière ou la construction d'un CV. Ce dernier aspect est un point fondamental qui différencie l'eportfolio du portfolio classique.(eportfolio Australia) Réfléchir sur son propre parcours d'apprentissage va permettre à l'apprenant de mieux intégrer ses différentes expériences d'apprentissage.

Many of the participants in the UW-Stout E-Learning and Online Teaching Graduate Certificate Program use Google Sites to create their e-portfolios.  The portfolios are created and used throughout the program. During the practicum, when students become teachers by teaching in one of our graduate classes, they also refine and polish their portfolios. Ultimately the online portfolio becomes a job search tool that helps our graduates show a potential employer what they know.

I started teaching 15 years ago and that is when I first came across this concept of a 'portfolio.' A portfolio is a storehouse for projects, writing pieces, art, and performances. It can be used by students, teachers, and parents to document what they're doing (either day-to-day things or through their best work or improvements they've made). I see portfolios as a way to hold onto and think about what you're doing.
