Formative Assessment Using Digital Portfolios

There are three elements to a Digital Portfolio - storage, workspace and showcase.  

Storage: Students can use their Digital Portfolio space as digital storage, where they create and collect artefacts. 

Workspace: In the workspace, students can plan, set goals, organise learning experiences chronologically, collaborate with peers and reflect on their own learning process and on the work of their peers. 

Showcase: The showcase element of a Digital Portfolio can demonstrate a student’s competences, achievements and products. 

For more information on each of these elements and practical guidance on embedding digital portfolios with your students, you can access the EUfolio: ePortfolio Implementation Guide for Policymakers and Practitioners.
