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.
