Assignment ELT 2

 

Hello friends,

Don't you love to showcase your journey and especially when it comes to academics- it's really worth preserving! Here, Digital Portfolio plays a very important role.  We the students of the Department of English - Maharaja Krishnakumarsinhji are used to preparing  an electronic portfolio which is also known as a digital portfolio, online portfolio, e-portfolio, e-folio, or eFolio. 

Now the question arises:

What is a Digital Portfolio?

It is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on the Web. Such electronic evidence may include input text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the student's abilities and platforms for self-expression. If these documentaries are online, users and students  can maintain them dynamically over time.

One can regard an e-portfolio as a type of learning record that provides actual evidence of achievement. Learning records are closely related to the learning plan, an emerging tool which individuals, teams, communities of interest, and organizations use to manage learning. To the extent that a personal learning environment captures and displays a learning record, it may also operate as an electronic portfolio.

E-portfolios, like traditional portfolios, can facilitate students' reflection on their own learning, leading to more awareness of learning strategies and needs.

Academically,  the measurement of student competency is changing now-a-days. There’s been a shift to creating personalized learning plans, promoting individuality, and giving students the creative freedom to apply their skills and passions.

Digital portfolios help develop soft skills because they require people to articulate their experiences and present them in a way that is easily digestible to others. It gives individuals the opportunity to reflect on projects, goals and track growth over time. With a portfolio, it’s less about what school you attended or how many years of experience you have. A portfolio puts emphasis on how we think and what we can do.

Digital portfolios tell student’s stories. Portfolios have opened up ways to showcase potential. Using online resources and multimedia tools, we can tell our whole story with a digital portfolio.
