What is an e-Portfolio?

An e-Portfolio is a collection of work published online which can document curriculum, learning objectives, achievements, accomplishments, ideas, progress, performance, and activities. An e-Portfolio can serve a multitude of purposes by showcasing, publishing and compiling the student's work to expand on a personal vision or life goal, to create an archive of experiences, to provide documentation for state evaluation - the list goes on and on.

Why create an e-Portfolio?

E-Portfolios give parents and students the tools to publish within the framework of the homeschooler's learning objectives, achievements, aspirations, educational experiences, and extra-curricular activities. Students can create and customize a true online depiction of who they are and who they want to become, where they come from, where they are going and what their plans are to get there. It is a channel for expression that creates a powerful motivation for creating great content to share with their parents, other homeschoolers, college admissions committees, potential employers and the world at large. Content for the e-Portfolio can include papers and presentations, digital images of student work or extra-curricular activities, photos from travels to other countries, video clips of students playing sports or musical instruments, descriptions of life goals or involvement in community organizations, and much more.

The process of creating an e-Portfolio not only gives students an opportunity to build necessary technology skills, but also provides an excellent opportunity for acknowledging their strengths, recognizing areas for improvement, setting goals and marking milestones. They are powerful tools for learning and reflection and can provide dynamic platforms for sharing and collaboration.
