Abstract

While introducing various aspects of this powerful educational tool, showcases are given so that the participants familiarize themselves with what e-Portfolio can do in education. (ii) to discuss the potential of e-Portfolio as the drive to cause a paradigm shift in the entire education ranging from K-12 through the graduate school. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
