well as student skills. Designed for potential employers or educators and can be used instead of, or to supplement one's CV.
Types of ePortfolio
“In most cases ePortfolios are not used for a single purpose. Instead, they tend to combine 2–3 types of portfolios thus
creating a Hybrid portfolio” Balaban, I.; Bubas, G., (2010)
• Level 1 & 2: Scrapbook & Curriculum Vitae
• Level 3: Curriculum Collaboration
– Students can share views with peers, tutors & employers and receive comments
• Level 4: Mentoring
– Educators are intensely engaged in guidance & feedback
• Level 5: Authentic Evidence for Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting
– Structured, organised, used for assessment & feedback
Based on Love et al (2004) cited in Balaban, I.; Bubas, G., (2010)
“Because of its features, ePortfolio offers support for reflection, which is one of its main advantages over other systems”
Suggested Levels of Portfolio Use
The eportfolio can help:
• To externalize learners’ ideas and thoughts.

• To deepen their knowledge by combining other’s ideas and thoughts.
Sawazaki, T. & Tanaka, Y. (2013).
