Introduction
An E-Portfolio is an online compilation of documents that are flexible and based on evidence that the
students have been involved in throughout these past 18 weeks of study. It is a continuous reflection of
their own learning, the progress of their achievement on knowledge, technical and generic skills as well as
personal, academic and career development planning. Additionally, it shows people your reflective
capacity, telling people your current status and future plan. Letting people know you are a lifelong learner.
“We do not learn from experiences; we learn from reflecting on our experiences,” – John Dewey, 1933
