An ePortfolio is digital portfolio which is a collection of electronic evidence stored and managed on the web. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, resumes, assessment, etc. An ePortfolio is a Personal Learning Environment to capture and display a learning record that is student created, maintained and accessible for future use.
