There are various types of e-portfolio systems ranging from a secure file storage function within a stand-alone system, to more sophisticated web-based products, or they may be part of a virtual learning environment. The centre or awarding organisation may also decide to develop their own e-portfolio system either generic or specific to a particular qualification.
The use of e-portfolios in storing digital evidence for assessment opens up a range of opportunities both for the learner and the assessor, bringing flexibility, accessibility and the presentation of a variety of evidence types that may not always be possible using the traditional paper based portfolio system.
The toolkit provides a complete section on the practical use of e-portfolios for assessment.
