| “An e-portfolio is a digitized collection of artefacts including demonstrations, resources, and accomplishments that represent an individual, group, or institution. This collection can be comprised of text-based, graphic, or multimedia elements archived on a Web site or on other electronic media such as a CD-ROM or DVD. An e-portfolio is more than a simple collection—it can also serve as an administrative tool to manage and organize work created with different applications and to control who can see the work. E-portfolios encourage personal reflection and often involve the exchange of ideas and feedback” (Lorenzo & Ittleson 2005). |
| “An eportfolio is a digital container capable of storing visual and auditory content including text, images, video and sound. Eportfolio may also be software tools not only because they organize content but also because they are designed to support a variety of pedagogical processes and assessment purposes” (Abrami & Barrett 2005). |
| “An eportfolio is the product, created by the learner, a collection of digital artefacts articulating experiences, achievements and learning. Behind any product, or presentation, lie rich and complex processes of planning, synthesising, sharing, discussing, reflecting, giving, receiving and responding to feedback” (JISC 2008). |
| “Broadly, the product eportfolio is a purposeful selection of items (evidence) chosen at a point in time from a repository or archive, with a particular audience in mind. The processes that are required to create eportfolio – for any purpose – include capturing and ongoing storage of material, selection, reflection and presentation” (Hartnell-Young 2007). |
