  2. It’s a good way to share a students achievements and progress throughout the years such as essays, photographs, videos, volunteer experiences, employment history, and more.
  3. ePortfolios give students the chance to be in control of their own Learning Management System by designing it however they like. Whereas in University it’s controlled and managed by the instructor and will likely lose access to it once the courses end.
