EdTech: Using e-portfolios to support learners
An e-portfolio is an online repository, belonging to and managed by the owner. It's a personal technology rather than shared, like a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
It contains artefacts added by the owner that are curated, arranged and presented, either in their own right or as evidence supporting attainment statements that showcase the owner's competencies and accomplishments.
E-portfolios allow the reordering of content to support different presentations of the owner's abilities depending on the need.

Good
Inspirational! I will try to create the e-portfolio for my students in the following academic year!
Very interesting with some good ideas about collaboration.
I enjoyed this module
E-portfolios allow learners to document evidence and share ideas with other learners.
Might work for more able students.
Helpful hints on how e-portfolios work, a useful tool to have in a learning environment as it helps learners with their progress throughout the year.
It would be nice to have more practical advice on delivery and resources available.
