What is an e-portfolio?

An e-portfolio is essentially a collection of a student's evidence of learning, which is stored on the Internet.

E-portfolios allow students to demonstrate their achievements, to reflect upon their learning and to plan future learning goals. In contrast to a traditional paper-based portfolio, an e-portfolio allows students to collect and display a much wider range of content, including text, images, video and audio files, blog entries and electronic files.

What benefits does having your own e-portfolio have?

Student Jotter contains a CV building tool, CV upload, Blogs, Friends network, Messaging, Video & photo galleries and more...

This addon to the School Jotter CMS allows students to work when and where they want, with 24/7 online access.

Enables the safe storage and presentation of work with teachers and parents.

Can be personalised by changing the look and feel, giving students a sense of ownership.

Helps students make connections among their formal and informal learning experiences.

No hardware or software to install and doesn't need an army of technicians to author.

Increases transparency for evaluation and benchmarking.

Fresh, new, personalised and collaborative approach to assessment which engages and motivates.

Designed with e-safety in mind: contacts and friends lists can be monitored and controlled.
