What is an ePortfolio?

"Nothing is easier than to have an experience and miss the meaning."

                                                                                               William Sloan Coffin

"A student electronic portfolio is unique insofar as it captures evidence of student learning over time --- in multiple formats and contexts --- documents practice, and includes a student's own reflection on his or her learning.  Portfolios also encourage students to represent and integrate their formal and informal learning experiences ... Eportfolios offer a framework within which students can personalize their learning experiences; develop multimedia capabilities to support student-created media; and create different representations of their learning for different audiences."
                                                                                                                     ---Helen Chen
