ePortfolio

ePortfolio is a personal portfolio tool for storing, organising, reflecting on and sharing items that represent your learning. You may create and include documents, graphics, audio files, videos, presentations, unit work, etc. that demonstrate your development or mastery in a certain area. You decide what items you want to include in your portfolio, how you want to organise them, and who you want to share them with. When you share items with your peers, lecturers, tutors, potential employers, etc. you may give them permission to view specific items, edit items, see or add comments and see or add assessments depending on what type of feedback you want.
