How does it help engineering students?
Having an ePortfolio can help engineering students to:
- provide a learner-centred rather than course-centred view of learning
- be aware of how they are learning and what different learning strategies to achieve
- be more effective in reviewing their own progress and using their own records and evidence of learning to demonstrate to others what they know and can do
- evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses and identify ways in which perceived weaknesses might be improved and strengths enhanced
- provide continuity through a learner’s lifelong learning as they move between learning providers
- plan, integrate and take responsibility for their personal, career and academic development
- develop their identity in relation to their academic, professional and personal progression
- identify opportunities within their own academic programs and extra-curricular activities
- be better prepared for seeking, continuing or changing employment and be more able to articulate the skills and knowledge they have gained to others
