Fourth publication of the Edul@b Smartpapers’ collection on ePorfolio in the educational context

The current educational context promotes the implementation of competency-based learning models and intensive use of ICTs in all processes that promote a permanent dialogue among all actors involved in educational action. 

From this approach, when we talk about evaluating competencies, extended processes are activated over time, and this implies the need to adopt strategies such as the use of electronic portfolios (also known as ePortfolios). 

These strategies are appropriate for this context, because: they make the learning process more visible and documented, the student is continuously monitored, reflective learning is promoted and the student is projected beyond the educational context.
