What is a portfolio? The learning-tool portfolio is where a learner:
• reflects on what they have learned
• encapsulates key aspects of their learning, based on successes and failures as evidenced by the
artefacts proposes future development.
A portfolio can be seen as both a product and a process.
As a product, it holds the work records and documents a learner has produced during a course or
program and represents an edited collection of their learning achievements.
As a process-oriented tool, it enables learners to monitor their own learning systematically, reflect
on their learning performance, present a coherent account of their achievements and obtain
feedback on their learning.
