Description of Session E-portfolios are becoming increasingly more common as a way to capture formal and informal learning experiences, gains and insights. The advent of social media, which has enable regular users to produce web content, has had a significant impact in promoting the development and deployment of e-portfolios. In this presentation, we discuss the value, the advantages and major challenges of using e-portfolios to portray acquired and planned competencies and skills. We introduce the audience to one particular social media tool that can be useful when planning one's own eportfolio. We share examples of different e-portfolios and engage participants in reflecting and developing their personal e-portfolios.
