ABSTRACT
The word ‘soft’ in the title relates to two aspects of the portfolio I want to explore in this chapter. The first refers to a soft-copy version of the ELP as an electronic portfolio, as opposed to the printed hard-copy version. The features of a digital version of the portfolio enable a number of functions and affordances for the user and make it possible to develop aspects of the ELP that could not have been envisaged in the paper version.
