Abstract
Online learning is currently garnering increasing interest. Through the Internet, all available data can be shared to anyone without limited accessibility. ePortfolio is one of the media for students and lecturers to share their knowledge online. Students can upload and share their works, and lecturers can access the works of students anytime and anywhere as long as they remain connected to each other. This learning process gives students the freedom to show their ability and skills without meeting face to face. In literature, ePortfolio has contributed numerous advantages to students and lecturers in terms of the competency, marketability, self-confidence, and visibility of the students. This paper analyzes the development of ePortfolio contents to ensure the reliability of the instrument used. Furthermore, the challenges to implement ePortfolio in the learning system in Malaysia are determined. A total of 100 respondents, who are educators and students from public higher education institutions in Malaysia, participated in the Google survey form to share their perspective on the development of ePortfolio and the challenges of its implementation in the learning system. The majority of the respondents gave positive feedback on the development of ePortfolio as one of the holistic approaches to evaluate a student’s knowledge and skills.

To evaluate the challenges that may be encountered in ePortfolio implementation, the Likert scale consists of 5 = Major Challenges, 4 = Moderate Challenges, 3 = Neutral, 2 = Minor Challenges, and 1 = No Challenges
Moderate challenges come from activities of garbage in and garbage out of learning materials that are uploaded in the ePortfolio (66%), followed by student only uploading the learning material by force (65%), and loading work to academic staff to evaluate ePortfolio (62%)
