media type="custom" key="22576690" align="right"This page gives an overview of the topic of e-portfolios, covering their pedagogical purposes and assessment purposes, and situating them within the broader area of personal learning networks (PLNs) and personal learning environments (PLEs). The author and narrator is Mark Pegrum. It's organised into 5 sections. You should cover the first 4 sections before coming to class, so that you're ready to discuss the questions in the last section in a face-to-face context:


 * 1) The complications of e-portfolios
 * 2) Personal learning networks
 * 3) Personal learning environments
 * 4) E-portfolios
 * 5) Reflections
