How To Make An Eportfolio A Guide For Students Teachers
A growing number of visual art students now present their work via an online ‘ePortfolio’ or ‘digital sketchbook’. Digital presentation methods have grown in popularity, due to the recent rise in distance/remote learning, and the increase in digital media within classrooms. A 2020 study, which examined how digital technology was used by art teachers, noted that “the emerging theme from the electronic resources code was digital portfolios.”[5] This article outlines the benefits of digital presentation... ePortfolio definition: The word ‘ePortfolio’ is shorthand for ‘electronic portfolio,’ and is sometimes known as an e-portfolio, eFolio, iFolio, web-folio, digital sketchbook, digital portfolio, or online portfolio. It is a place to display creative work online (artwork, photographs, videos, designs, writing, and so on), and may include hyperlinks, headings, navigation menus, and pages combining visual material and text. ePortfolios in education: Electronic portfolios for students provide a place for students to record their learning, so that material can be accessed remotely by a teacher, classmates and others.
Student ePortfolios document learning over time, and provide a place to store, analyze and reflect upon work. An electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) is a purposeful collection of sample student work, demonstrations, and artifacts that showcase student’s learning progression, achievement, and evidence of what students can do. In many cases, high school art students use ePortfolios in a similar way that is similar to a traditional art sketchbook with visual imagery displayed alongside typed annotation. Since there are many types of ePortfolios, it can be difficult to know where to start. This page is specifically to help students and creators identify questions, audiences, and considerations for getting started. There are many different types of ePortfolios.
Some of the main ones include: Learning ePortfolios: These portfolios illustrate the process of learning. The audience is typically teachers and/or supervisors, peers, and self. It is not about including your best work or work that received an A+ -- instead, these ePortfolios highlight the process of learning. Frequently included artifacts are paper drafts, lab reports, reflections, etc. Career ePortfolios: These portfolios are usually a compilation of best work that illustrates professional skills and aligns with the job you are either applying for or want to work in.
The audience is typically potential employers. Frequent artifacts included are resumes, professional development, best works, etc. Showcase ePortfolios: These portfolios illustrate your best work and showcase particular work for a specific audience. For example, an artist might showcase their best work and reflections on the meaning. Students might also use these in a Capstone Course to illustrate learning throughout a program. Frequent artifacts include: polished work, resumes, contextual information, etc.

An ePortfolio is a collection of work (evidence) in an electronic format that showcases learning over time.
Creating a digital portfolio encourages students to take responsibility for their learning and showcase that learning with others. An ePortfolio lets students organize, document, and display their most significant learning experiences in one digital space. The reflective learning process of creating and building a portfolio over time deepens their learning AND yields a dynamic product that makes learning visible to any audience. Some educators see ePortfolios primarily as a tool for generating new or deeper learning while others view them as an assessment tool. Educator Helen Barrett described the difference in perspective this way: “There’s a major tension right now between student-centered and institution-centered ePortfolios” (Barrett, 2008). Institution-centered ePortfolios, she says, are driven by “assessment of learning.” In contrast, student-centered ePortfolios are driven by “assessment for learning,” referring to the academic assignments that fulfill the traditional role of assessing learning while...
Even within the student-centered approach to ePortfolios, it’s possible to classify different kinds of ePortfolios based on the student’s purpose. LaGuardia Community College’s ePortfolio initiative, for example, distinguishes between three types of ePortfolios. There’s the assessment version, where the audience is internal to the institution and the goal is to support institutional outcomes assessment. In learning ePortfolios, the audience is the students themselves and the goal is to help them examine and reflect on their learning. And finally there are Career/Transfer ePortfolios, where the audience is external and the goal is to provide students with a tool for showcasing their achievements to employers or transfer institutions. Explain to your students what you expect them to do in their ePortfolios.
At first, learners may have difficulty understanding the need for them to reflect on their work and the need for them to make connections between different courses and experiences. As you build your own directory of student examples, direct students to LaGuardia’s ePortfolio gallery for inspiration and clarity on scope and purpose. Published by cirkledin on March 21, 2025March 21, 2025 Teachers and counselors, you play a key role in student success. And student portfolios are now a must-have tool. But how do you guide students to build portfolios that are truly powerful?
How do you make portfolio building easy, not scary? This tip sheet is for YOU. It’s a step-by-step guide to help you help students make portfolios that open doors to college, jobs, and beyond. First, why focus on student portfolios? Why are they so important today? Because things have changed!
Grades and test scores are still key, but they don’t tell the whole story. Colleges and employers want to see more. They want to see the real student. They want to see skills in action. That’s where portfolios come in. Portfolios let students:
Show skills beyond grades. Let students prove what they can DO, not just what grades they get. Help students stand out. In a world where everyone looks the same on paper, portfolios make students unique. Get students ready for the future. Portfolios are not just for school.
They are for life. They get students ready for college, careers, and the online world. Platforms like Cirkled In help students easily organize and showcase their achievements in one place, making their portfolios truly stand out. An ePortfolio is a personal website that showcases skills, experiences, and knowledge to an outside audience, such as graduate schools or potential employers. ePortfolios are websites that include the following: ePortfolios are a valuable tool to develop skills like critical thinking and communication as well as a platform to display these skills to an external audience.
To get started with an ePortfolio, follow the steps below. The OTL is available to support you! Reach out to otl@du.edu today!
