In the last few years, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of e-portfolios has shown an unexpected rise on university level, in its use to meet new developed needs. This work gives a brief definition of e-portfolios, how faculty members and students gain from them, and how to select the correct e-portfolio platform to support traditional school graduation final exams and university enrolment systems. Key words: Education, e-portfolio, schools final exams, university enrolment, transform education, embedding technology in education.
Highlights
An e-portfolio is an “electronic portfolio” that includes a technology pool of confirmation and artifacts expressing the intelligence talents, and achievements of an individual (Lorenzo and Ittelson, 2005)
Clemson University (2021) in a text called “The What, Why, and How of e-portfolios” defined an e portfolio as” a collection of work in an electronic design that displays education over time”, which can certainly be applied in the transmission from High school to universities
E-portfolios consist of various documents and files from accomplished tasks, evidence of proficiencies and progress in skills in the form of credentials and records, as well as important practices and accomplishments. It is the unambiguous and categorical position of this paper that at the centre of the scientific approach towards the movement from high school to higher education should be based on the concept of e portfolio
Summary
An e-portfolio is an “electronic portfolio” that includes a technology pool of confirmation and artifacts expressing the intelligence talents, and achievements of an individual (Lorenzo and Ittelson, 2005). E-portfolios consist of various documents and files from accomplished tasks, evidence of proficiencies and progress in skills in the form of credentials and records, as well as important practices and accomplishments It is the unambiguous and categorical position of this paper that at the centre of the scientific approach towards the movement from high school to higher education should be based on the concept of e portfolio. Many countries and educational systems like the International Baccalaureate and the A Levels, around the world, due to schools’ closure, senior final exams “died”, and from the highly weighted 90-100% value they got 0%, and new methodologies and procedures were created in order to certify the students’ graduating diploma. E-portfolios help dents and teachers to know how to achieve relevant results with time, understand the different areas of the curriculum, acquire knowledge for development, and build personalities as organizers of learning or learners
