What do students like about ePortfolio?
The vast majority of students felt ePortfolio
made their courses more interesting and helped
them to learn. When asked what they liked about
ePortfolio, they said
It gave me the opportunity to examine my own
career goals and ambitions for life. The best
part of creating the ePortfolio was instead of
the teacher doing everything for us, they
directed us step by step, and worked with us
individually. The best thing was finding out
more about myself and learning to be more
open. It helps students to find out what their
career goals are. Now I have all my work in
one place. I learned how to create my own
page. Using my own original ideas to create
it.
