Activity 1: Distinguish features of an e-portfolio for learning from other types of e-portfolio. 

An e-portfolio for learning is distinct from other types of e-portfolios (such as career or showcase e-portfolios) due to its focus on the learning process and educational growth. Here are the distinguishing features:

1. Focus on Reflective Learning

   • Encourages students to reflect on their learning experiences, progress, and areas for improvement.

   • Contains reflective journals, logs, or essays.

2. Documentation of Learning Progress

   • Tracks and demonstrates growth over time, showing the evolution of knowledge, skills, and understanding.

   • Includes drafts, feedback, and final versions of assignments.

3. Alignment with Learning Goals

   • Designed to align with specific learning outcomes or course objectives.

   • Includes evidence (e.g., assignments, projects, assessments) tied to these goals.

4. Interactive and Iterative

   • Offers space for ongoing updates and revisions as the learner grows.

   • Involves teacher or peer feedback to refine understanding and work.

5. Personalized Learning Experience

   • Showcases a learner’s unique journey, preferences, and insights.

   • May include multimedia artifacts like videos, presentations, and blogs to reflect diverse ways of learning.

6. Focus on Developmental Evidence

   • Highlights learning experiences (e.g., group projects, internships) beyond final products or achievements.

7. Private or Controlled Access

   • Primarily shared with educators, mentors, or peers for guidance and evaluation, rather than public audiences.
