Portfolio’s has been a long standing requirement in teacher education; generally students would create a portfolio in their student teaching that is then carried forward to the job interview. The use of e-portfolio is now a growing trend in other professional arenas and with the wide use of technology it’s generally digitized. The portfolio allows a learner to collect and present evidence of strengths and competencies, gained either in their academic experience or in the professional workplace. The “activity” of creating the portfolio creates awareness/mindfulness on the students part of their of their academic/professional achievement.
Peer review provides the learner with peripheral vision. Peers provide multiple perspectives (Gardner – MI) and feedback that allows you to think beyond your own experience (Vygotsky – ZPD).
