The learning portfolio is a concept that is strongly suited to enhancing learning. It is both process and document, encouraging reflection, collaborative mentoring, and emphasis on documentation of learning through detailed outcomes. It is a powerful way of providing evidence of learning tied to students’ reflections on the content, scope, and value of their learning. While portfolios provide teachers with diverse, multi-source information about learning for the purposes of assessment and evaluation, the final recipient of the learning portfolio’s benefits is the student, an appropriate and worthwhile achievement in higher education.
