What evidence is there that e-portfolios are beneficial to student learning??
We have some evidence that paper portfolios are effective, and we definitely have evidence that reflection contributes to student learning, based on brain research. My research over the next two years is being designed to collect that type of evidence. I have posted one page with reference to some research studies, mostly in higher education: The Research on Portfolios in Education and Dr. Joanne Carney has published several papers on researching electronic portfolios, included in a Symposium at the 2004 AERA conference.
