Types of Electronic Portfolios
• Showcase Portfolios: Is Usually created at the end of a program to highlight the student skills and quality of work.
Main purpose is to impress potential employers for employment.
• Developmental Portfolios: Show the development of student skills over a period of time, and are considered works-in-progress and include both self-assessment and reflection/feedback elements.
Main purpose is to provide communication between students and faculty.
• Assessment Portfolios: Demonstrate student competence and skill for well-defined areas. These may be end-of-course or program assessments primarily for evaluating student performance.
Main purpose is to evaluate student competency as defined by college, or program standards or outcomes.
• Hybrids: In many cases portfolios are hybrids of the mentioned three types. Rarely will you find a
portfolio that is only used for showcase, development or assessment purposes.
As Helen Barrett, an expert in the field of e-portfolios, would say "a portfolio without standards, goals and/or reflection is just a fancy resume, not an electronic portfolio."
