Digital Learning - beyond eLearning and Blended Learning

ePortfolios can be defined as “personal learning spaces”. An ePortfolio is a collection of materials that documents student accomplishments. Unlike an “analogue” portfolio, the digital element allows for the inclusion of different media (video, audio, infographics, etc), thereby providing students with various means of expression as well as the possibility to easily connect resources and ideas. But ePortfolios go further than that. A space for deep learning, ePortfolios enable the visualisation of one’s own learning path. They can be seen as a “learning diary”, where students reflect on their learning process.
