The ePortfolio is a digital archive that documents student achievement. It functions as an educational blueprint of learning opportunities in and beyond the classroom. Because students document their learning throughout their college careers, the ePortfolio provides a vehicle for tracing the evolution of language proficiency and cultural competence. The ePortfolio showcases what students can actually do with a language.
The ePortfolio:
- Helps students to reflect on goals, the learning process, and individual growth.
- Builds connections between learning that happens in the classroom and beyond it.
- Highlights the multiple forms of literacy (textual, visual, verbal, technological) students may possess.
- Provides a venue for building a dynamic, ongoing resume.
