Summary
In contemporary educational settings, the demand for flexible assessment practices has gained prominence due to students’ diverse learning needs and preferences. Portfolios have emerged as a versatile tool for facilitating personalised and adaptable assessment processes. This paper investigates how ePortfolios can cater to students’ flexible assessment needs. By examining the benefits, challenges, and implementation strategies associated with ePortfolios, this paper highlights their potential to enhance assessment practices, foster student engagement, and promote lifelong learning. As part of implementation strategies, we provide examples to support teaching staff and institutions in translating the underpinning principles and theory into actionable practice.
