What is an ePortfolio?
Portfolios have been around for decades as a formal presentation tool that offers opportunities for learning, reflection, and assessment through the evaluation of selected artifacts. Similar to physical portfolios, an electronic portfolio or ePortfolio is a collection of digital artifacts assembled to demonstrate expertise, growth, or a set of skills. Electronic portfolios enable students and teachers to consider digital products (images, video, audio, and hyperlinks to various websites) that were once excluded as viable tools to demonstrate knowledge, ability, and character. As a result of the electronic platform, ePortfolios can take the form of a webpage, enhanced DVD, or digital file, which provides a portable and convenient method for displaying work personally and professionally.

What is the ePortfolio Project?
The ePortfolio Project was initially funded in 2007 by the Making Connections Mini-Grant. As a result of research and development surrounding ePortfolios, the School of Education launched a pilot project in 2008 and adopted the venture for the Undergraduate Education Program in 2009.  All undergraduate students in the School of Education now receive  accounts and have the opportunity to start working on their Program ePortfolio. The Program ePortfolio catalogues the products and valuable lessons drawn from the academic and service related experiences at St. John's.  In addition, graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in Associate Teaching Courses will also have an opportunity to develop a Professional ePortfolio as a part of their course work and final project.
