Digital Learning Portfolios - ePortfolios

With current Information Technology, it is a relatively easy
matter to compile a digital Learning Portfolio. A digital
portfolio is one in which the evidence of learning and
reflections are not found on paper, but stored digitally on a
CD Rom or similar multi-media device. The scanning of
artifacts or the use of digital cameras to take digital images
of documents makes it possible to compile the evidence of
learning in an easily portable format. It is also possible to
insert digital video clips, MPEG files or similar that enables
the digital Learning Portfolio to capture a ‘live’ image of
yourself describing aspects of your learning evidence or
discussing your reflections.
Digital Learning Portfolios can also include hyperlinks to
websites or pages that you have developed (such as the
school’s website) which you can regularly review in order
to demonstrate your developmental learning. Such links
are also exciting ways of demonstrating how you as a
school leader are responding to innovation and change in
education.
