  4. Electronic Portfolio Electronic Portfolio • An electronic portfolio or e-portfolio is a collection of evidence put together and managed by the user usually on a web based platform. Part of all of this evidence is either shared or kept private for personal reflection. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B3tujXlbdk (Davr055, 2008). This is a video of what an electronic portfolio (e-Portfolio) is.

  8. What is the Blog Tool? • A blog is short for web log and is an online diary. You can make entries as often as you like in a blog. • You usually reflect on your day’s work, a task or skill you have gained • In your work placement, it’s useful as it allows you to record and reflect on your work placement in preparation for your Level 3 Module
