"In general, an ePortfolio is a purposeful collection of information and digital
artifacts that demonstrates development or evidences learning outcomes, skills or
competencies. The process of producing an ePortfolio (writing, typing, recording etc.)
usually requires the synthesis of ideas, reflection on achievements, self-awareness
and forward planning; with the potential for educational, developmental or other
