What is an ePortfolio?
An ePortfolio is an online place where thoughts and artefacts can be created, stored and displayed digitally and available to anyone who has been granted access to it.
There are many types of ePortfolios available on the web that you can use to showcase your work, record training outcomes and reflections, build an interactive CV and store files; but myPortfolio can do all of these things. myPortfolio is the official ePortfolio platform at Southampton Solent University and has been developed using Mahara Open Source software.
