The importance of ePortfolios

As e-portfolios become a more formal part of assessment, many institutions are looking to standardize on one platform campuswide. An e-portfolio is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user and may include text, files, images, multimedia, blog entries, links, etc. It is maintained online over time, demonstrating the user’s abilities and serves as a platform for self-expression. This can be extremely beneficial for people who have to showcase their work, such as graphic designers, programmers, developers, teachers or even academic institutions.

How to create one?

People who own websites often host their ePortfolios on them. They create the graphics, upload the pictures, maybe even write some code and the ePortfolio is ready. But what happens if you don’t know how to create your own website or you can afford the cost of maintaining one? Fortunately, there are some websites over the Internet that offer you a chance to host your ePortfolio but there is a major drawback.Existing ePortfolio solutions are either being self-hosted and isolated or using outdated technologies and lacking basic modern functionalities. This is where tevent.io comes in.
