What is an Educational Portfolio?
A purposeful collection of student work that exhibits the student’s efforts, progress and achievements in one or more areas (over time). The collection must include student participation in selecting contents, the criteria for selection, the criteria for judging merit, and evidence of student self-reflection. (Northwest Evaluation Association, 1990)

Steps in Creating ePortfolios
Collect: electronically store your work in one place. It is preferable to have it in an online archive so that you will have one place where you can go to find your work. This collection will also allow you to see your work, your progress, and your development over time.
Select: select key materials from your collection that you believe best demonstrate your achievements.
Reflect: write a reflection about your work. Reflection is a deliberate attempt to examine the act of learning and to document your learning. When you reflect on your learning, you are thinking critically about your total learning experience and drawing connections between a body of knowledge and its applications carefully.
Connect: use your eportfolio to make personally meaningful connections between your academic, service, community, and work experiences. The eportfolio will serve as a showcase for your very best work, documenting your growth and change over time. (LaGuardia Community College, n.d.)
