I don&#8217;t create artwork, I don&#8217;t write for a living, and I don&#8217;t particularly have any types of aspirations to maintain an item like this outside of a school setting. Don&#8217;t misunderstand, I am not apathetic towards the idea, but it does not align with my goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wikipedia defines an ePortfolio (in an education-based setting) as a &#8220;collection of a students&#8217; work that can advance learning by providing a way for them to organize, archive, and display work.&#8221; To put it as simply as I can, it&#8217;s a way to showcase your talent, or your hard work. Outside of an education setting, an ePortfolio can be used to document a personal journey, or a transformation in much the same way a diary or a journal can. In a professional setting, it can be used to provide potential employers with more information about you and the work you do.<br><br>I think if were I to continue to use an ePortfolio in future, I&#8217;d use it to affirm the work that I do, and bring both more public awareness to the increasing number of environmental issues we face as a species, as well as provide the conclusive scientific data that I&#8217;ve gathered in the course of my work to back up these ideas. I am a very passionate person when it comes to environmental conservation, and while social media sites like Facebook and Twitter allow you to share your thoughts, you don&#8217;t have anything similar to an ePortfolio to assist you. I mean, it&#8217;s a <em>collection<\/em>. In my case, I&#8217;d use it as a collection of thoughts and facts, I suppose.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-list\"><li>Reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electronic_portfolio#In_education\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electronic_portfolio#In_education\">Wikipedia.org<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ePortfolio is a fairly new concept to me.
