Springboard ePortfolio
The ePortfolio tool in Springboard is a user-focused online portfolio tool that empowers users to take an active role in their learning. Users upload, organize, reflect on, revise, and present digital learning artifacts that demonstrate their learning and achievements.
The ePortfolio is:
- A personal repository of digital information
- An area to store artifacts that relate to personal interests, goals, education, achievement, etc.
- Collections demonstrating the user’s abilities and a platform for self-expression
- A learning record that provides evidence of achievement
