What is an electronic Portfolio (e-Portfolio):
An electronic portfolio is a visual representation of your work containing samples that give potential employers a better idea of your skills. This may include graphics and files you have created or summarizing web pages that provide easy navigation to your various works. The best ones annotate the work samples, describing the skills used to create it, the conditions under which it was created, etc. In short, the electronic portfolio will help you increase your ability to communicate the value of your work.
