ePortfolios for Students

What is an ePortfolio?

An ePortfolio is an online collection of reflections and digital artefacts (such as documents, images, blogs, CVs, multimedia, hyperlinks and contact information). Consider an ePortfolio as an extension of the paper basedportfolio, bringing with it the obvious benefit of making a portfolio of evidence portable and shareable anywhere that you have Internet access. With no physical paper-based portfolio there is also less paper and less storage facility required and no chance of the portfolio being lost.

What is Student Jotter?

Student Jotter provides a safe & secure online environment for students to demonstrate their learning, skills and development, and record their achievements over time to display to a selected audience.

Student Jotter is:

• Fun - Easy and friendly to build, customise and manage.
• Shareable - Facilitates interactions and allows for collaborative communication.
• Easy To Use - Seamlessly integrates into your school VLE.
• Transportable - Accessible from anywhere, encouraging home-school learning.

Why do my pupils need an ePortfolio?

ePortfolios provide a central, linking role between the more rigid, institution-led learning management system and students’ social online spaces. It has been found that with an ePortfolio pupils have higher levels of satisfaction, increased motivation, improved retention rates, and due to this and the accessibility of their ePortfolio, they complete their work faster. ePortfolios provide a meaningful way for parents to engage with their child’s education. This sort of parental involvement has been shown to increase a child’s performance.

Other great uses for ePortfolios include:

• Class/school yearbook
• School camp/trip diary
• Family archive
• Presentation tool
• International school transition
