Usage

Not only can students use blogs as portfolios within the school year, they can also use them once they have left school completely.

Due to the increase in the use of the internet for getting jobs, employers are using e-portfolios to see the development of the prospective employees understanding in various contexts. This way they can access this information from any where.

Students are able to apply to college or to businesses showing these complete examples of their work; something much richer than what would be shown in their CV. It is also a way of seeing the development of the individual, and whether they act upon feedback given in the comments, or whether they continue to make the same mistakes. This could be something that sets one person apart from the rest, so can be very beneficial for the owner.

This video shows the perspectives of various students who have used portfolios to track their learning and how they will be used in their future.
