2. Paper versus E-portfolios

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in electronic portfolios which have been replacing traditional paper portfolios for a number of reasons. According to Součková (2022, p. 88): e-portfolio opens up a completely new virtual dimension and provides opportunities which would not be possible with a paper portfolio (e.g. shareability, customisation for a latter professional portfolio, multimedia artifacts). On the other hand, traditional paper portfolios may also appeal especially to users who prefer paper-and-pencil tools over virtual platforms which often require digital skills at a certain level." 

Both electronic and paper portfolios can be used as a tool for self-reflection, autonomous learning and to track progress, however, electronic portfolios may also provide a virtual space which could enhance cooperation and peer-to-peer learning.
