e-PORTFOLIOS

Fusionware can create electronic portfolio solutions, also known as an e-portfolio or digital portfolio, which can be seen as a type of learning record that provides actual evidence of achievement. Learning records are closely related to the Learning Plan, an emerging tool that is being used to manage learning by individuals, teams, communities of common interest, and organizations. To the extent that at Personal Learning Environment captures and displays a learning record, it also might be understood to be an electronic portfolio.

Fusionware can build e-portfolios – a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include text, electronic files like Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF files, images, audio/video, blog entries, and hyperlinks to other web pages. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and if they are online, they can be dynamically maintained over time. Through e-portfolio applications one can permit varying degrees of audience access, so the same portfolio might be used for multiple purposes.

An e-portfolio unlike traditional portfolios maintained on paper, can facilitate a person’s reflection on their own learning, leading to more awareness of learning strategies and needs.
