Learning from tests
We focus on the use of e-portfolios to support the assessment process. An e-portfolio is a tool that makes a student's unique development visible. You can see in which context(s) students are developing and how competent they consider themselves to be.
Digital student portfolios, or e-portfolios, have been attracting interest from educational institutions for years. They fit with developments in education, such as Lifelong Learning and student-centred learning. The e-portfolio helps to support students' development, track their progress and record their learning outcomes and competences. Its use is variable and deployment remained off for a long time. Currently, there is renewed attention to e-portfolios, especially with the emergence of programme-based testing. Suppliers are also rapidly developing their e-portfolio offerings.
Education and suppliers are both developing e-portfolios in higher education. But there are still many uncertainties. To find out the current state of affairs and look at the future of e-portfolios, SURF has taken stock in the publication e-portfolios in higher education.
