Synopsis of the Project

Success in the 21st century requires knowing how to learn. Students today will likely have several careers in their lifetime. They must develop strong critical thinking and interpersonal communication skills in order to be successful in an increasingly fluid, interconnected, and complex world. Technology allows for access to information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital content. In this setting, educators can leverage technology to create an engaging and personalized environment to meet the emerging educational needs of this generation. No longer does learning have to be one-size-fits-all or confined to the classroom. The opportunities afforded by technology should be used to re-imagine 21st-century education, focusing on preparing students to be learners for life. There are many researchers who advocate the use of portfolios in higher education institutions for both learners and facilitators. However, very limited empirical research gives its due focus on the development of portfolios than their effects on student learning. This has resulted in the invention of e-Portfolio with the ‘E’ as a new concept which suggests online environments with electronic tools can be used to develop and present a self or group portfolios. This invention offers the creation, management, maintenance, and presentation of electronic portfolios. E-Portfolio can be used as a personal and lifelong content-management system for collecting, reflecting, selecting, and presenting learning outcomes, and other professional accomplishments.
