• What are electronic portfolios / e-Portfolio?– An electronic portfolio uses electronic technologies,

allowing the portfolio developer to collect and organize portfolio artifacts in many media types dynamically (audio, video, graphics, text).

– A standards-based portfolio uses a database or hypertext links to clearly show the relationship between the standards or goals, artifacts and reflections.
