eportfolios
In education, a ‘portfolio’ refers to a personal collection of information describing, documenting and recording a person’s achievements and learning. Portfolios are used for many different purposes such as a tool for evaluating leaning, for accreditation of prior experience, for continuing professional development, to assist a job application, or for a certification of competences acquired through a course or from work experience . An educational portfolio is mainly used to encourage personal reflection and involves the exchange of ideas and feedback. Many people have already used some kind of portfolio. Most of them have built a portfolio to collect evidence required to get certificates or to show what they have learned in a concrete situation or training.

Student led e-Portfolio training sessions at Angus College : JISC RSC-Scotland Showcase
In readiness for academic session 2012/13 it was decided to replace the current e-Portfolio system which used WordPress, adapted to allow students to create their own electronic portfolio, but the uptake and extent to which it was being used was disappointing. Feedback from students was gathered and it was identified that students would like a system that incorporates social networking functions, more in keeping with Facebook and other similar social media tools. As student engagement is paramount when implementing an e-Portfolio system it was decided to switch to Mahara which has a mix of social networking functions and word processing features.
