One benefit of using discussion boards is that it is easier to share information with others. With the discussion boards, there is no longer needed the photocopy machines, you can share the information by simply clicking a button to upload.
Since there is no time limited on the discussion boards, I would use a discussion board in the classroom by sharing information; increase the opportunity for students to collaborate with a project or assignment due to no time limited. Students can gain more experiences how to work and communicate with others at any time they want. Moreover, I would increase the debating or discussing opportunity for students for a particular topic periodically. It can stimulate students to think more and deeply about the particular topic. By the way, the purpose of discussing topics is that to increase the knowledge or information from others for students how the way it works.
Nevertheless, there are some challenges teachers might face. First, students might have to be motivated to actively participate or join in. Students will voluntarily participate with the discussion only if the topic teachers assigned is interesting enough for them. However, there is a way to solve a problem that students may participate for every topic all the time. Teachers can assign a bonus point to the students who have a great contribution to the topic. Second, a coordinator is needed to keep the discussion boards running well. Because of a technical device to enhance the learning, there is always a possibility that the system will be down. It causes students have no way to enter the forum or boards to collaborate or sharing with others. There is no way to make sure the system will work all the time. Regardless of the possible challenges teachers face, discussion boards are a great tool for teaching and learning.

Eportfolios
“In the context of education and learning an ePortfolio is a portfolio based on electronic media and services. It consists of a personal digital record containing information such as personal profile and collection of achievements, information on which different services can be provided to the owner of the ePortfolio and the people and organizations to whom the owner has granted access.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPortfolio

Eportfolios is yet another innovative idea created from the nowadays technology advance society. As technology is growing rapidly, sooner of later most employers will most likely demand Eportfolios. By doing so can reduce the stack of papers lying on the HR manager’s table waiting to be read, and reduce the space required to keep record of all resume submitted. Also, it can be easier to attract the employers’ attention since each resume will be different, not just information, but the style, format and layout will also be different. Not only employers will enjoy the benefits of Eportfolios, so do potential employees. I think that Eportfolios can help present myself to potential employers more precisely due to the greater variety of choices of tools that can be used in an Eportfolios. Instead of just line of words on a piece of paper as resume, Eportfolios can include diagrams and videos that is more interest to build and read. Furthermore, more and more education, experiences, skills are learned as time pass by, using an Eportfolios can eliminate the extra paper that is needed to be print out because of change of information. Building an Eportfolios is more attractive than building a resume. It will also be more reflective, because keeping an Eportfolios updated daily is like updating a blog or a journal everyday which most people actually enjoy doing, where updating the resume is just whenever there are more work experiences or skills or any new information needed to be change.
