ABSTRACT
Portfolios can be created in print or electronic format. Electronic portfolios (e-portfolios) present opportunities and challenges to builders and readers alike. Additionally, with web-based portfolios the intended readers of the portfolios must have Internet access, some degree of technical know-how in order to view them, and often passwords. Non-web-based portfolios are usually created using presentation software. The simplest type of electronic portfolio is that used for developmental purposes. The features the people have included here are common to both print and electronic portfolios. Digital cameras also produce images that are easily uploaded to the electronic portfolio. Through the comparison of print and e-portfolios in the chapter, the people have pointed out how similar they are in content and design, and yet how different they are in how they are constructed.
