What is an ePortfolio?

People including students use ePortfolios to display their work to the world, maybe to advance their career or maybe to reflect on their learning. Faculty might use a portfolio for their own performance reviews.

Some instructors can also use an ePortfolio as a course management tool to store documents, display a collection of materials, blog, and create surveys and quizzes. (Your pre and post survey was done using an ePortfolio)
