WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?LEARNER PERCEPTIONS…
“Check [progress], achievements, etc.”“…I am sure it will be helpful in next semesters. I always lose my physical portfolios.”
“I think it is useful because it reflects your work throughout the semester.”“Yes, it is really helpful because I can do self-evaluation. Besides it allows me to think and reflect on the learning process I've been through."
Does it serve a purpose for you?
“to follow your own progress and evaluate if your are improving”

Does it serve a purpose for you?
“I think it could help in the future when I [need it].”
“Personally, the developing of e-portfolios works better for me because I can edit the content of my work based on the comments that the teachers leave for me, so I think that at the end I have a better product if I work with [e-portfolios].”“Yes, I like e- portfolios because throughout the
semester I work and everything is saved there, I do not have to arrange everything till the end. I [optimize] time, organization. Besides I do not suffer if I do not have a printer and also I save paper.”
“it is good for the planet”
WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?LEARNER PERCEPTIONS…
Does it serve a purpose for you?
“It helps students because it can show people how or what we think about the [language] and teaching.”
“In my experience, an e-portfolio represents a better option than a printed portfolio [for] various reasons; first, it's cheaper than the latter and also eco-friendly. It's also easier to use when it comes to feedback comments from my teachers and/or classmates. In general, I prefer them over traditional portfolios.”
WHY CULTIVATE AN EPORTFOLIO?LEARNER PERCEPTIONS…
Does it serve a purpose for you?
“Besides being environmentally friendly, it allows for better preservation of information and the possibility to open it up as Free Content (making it available under an open license for others to see and reuse). I am an open-source kind of guy, I use free software and my computer uses an open-source OS, and I follow free content initiatives such as the Wikimedia Foundation, so this is important to me.” “It [helps] me to increase my confidence [in] the
products I do. In addition, it is good receiving feedback from my classmates or even other unknown people who are interested in my products.”
