Welcome to eportfolio.eu
Welcome to eportfolio.eu, the reference website on ePortfolio practice, initiatives, ePortfolio and tools. This site has been designed in order to cover the different dimensions of the ePortfolio: individual ePortfolio, community ePortfolio, organisational ePortfolio, territorial ePortfolio and sectoral ePortfolio. The vision carried by this portal is the ePortfolio as the link between individual, community, organisational and territorial learning. Digital Identity and interoperability are also covered as they are essential elements to the success of ePortfolio developments.

What is a Portfolio? -
Long before the ePortfolio was the portfolio, a document used by artists to present their best work, compiled by learners to demonstrate their achievements as well as professionals to gain recognition of their experience. Today, in the UK alone, almost 500,000 people get a qualification by creating a portfolio compiling evidence of their professional experience. To understand the power of ePortfolios it is important to understand what could be done with paper-based or mix-media portfolios as well as the unique value of the digital portfolio, beyond the transformation of paper-based into paper-less portfolios.

Portfolio Types -
For a long time one made the difference between developmental, assessment and showcase ePortfolios. Although there is still some valididy in these categories, the frontiers have now blurred and expanded with the lifelong and lifewide ePortfolio as well as the concept of personal and organisaltional learning environments (POLE).

What is an ePortfolio? -
In its short and dynamic history, the ePortfolio has rapidly moved from the status of simple paperless portfolio to sophisticated ePortfolio Management Systems and now social software. Today, the explosion of new social practices emerging from the use of new media, such as social networks and what is commonly referred as Web 2.0, tends to blur the frontiers of ePortfolios.
-
What are its components? -
an ePortfolio is more than a mere "paperless portfolio." It is a bout an information system architecture where the "paperless portfolio" is being produced and consumed by different information systems. Ultimately it is about the manifestion of a new dimension of one's identity: the digital identity.

The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (2)
In a previous post (The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (1)) I expressed the idea that a fully developed ePortfolio is in fact a digital identity and that most of the so called ePortfolios are little more than paperless portfolios. What I would like to do in this post is reflect on (some of) the consequences in terms of technologies and solutions and respond the the questions:

About ePortfolio standards (2) - Reflexion
I indicated in a previous post that although a number of actors are involved in the design of open standards, the mere implementation of open standards is not enough to ensure interoperability. Two systems can be based on the same 'base specification', yet be unable to exchange information. In order to solve the issue of information portability across systems using different specifications we

About ePortfolio standards (1) - a rapid state of art
I would like to take the opportunity of a colleague's request about ePortfolio standards and interoperability, to present EIfEL views on this issue.Today, even if few ePortfolio suppliers are engaged in the implementation of existing specifications, those doing it generally do so within the context of a specific community, using what is called application profiles, i.e. an adaptation of a base

The ePortfolio is dead? Long life to Digital Identity! (1)
It is now nearly 5 years since EIfEL, at the time of the first International ePortfolio Conference, launched the idea that “In 2010, every citizen will have an ePortfolio.” The intuition we had at the time was that the ePortfolio was much more than a mere paperless portfolio, and that its digital dimension was going to create a special object which would travel with us throughout our life, our
