1.3ChallengesofStudentE-PortfolioImplementation
1.3.aChallengesforStudents
Ase-portfoliosarevastlydifferentfromtraditionaltest-basedassessmentsasamethod
ofdemonstratingknowledge,studentsfaceanumberofchallengeswhenworkingwith
e-portfoliosforthefirsttime.Studentslackingexperiencewithcomputersand
website-buildingmayexperienceasharp,lengthylearningcurve,astheyexperiment
withnew,unfamiliartemplates.Alackofuniversaldesignbetweeninstitutions,and
evencourses,mayalsofrustrate,astemplatesandtoolsthatstudentslearntouseinone

introducesfurtherchallengesregardingfilecompatibilities,asstudentsmayneedto

formats(Chau&Cheng,2010).
Inadditiontothesteeplearningcurve,theprocessofcreatingmeaningfule-portfoliosis
alsoextremelytimeconsuming.Studentstendtofocusmuchoftheirattentiononthe
visualpresentationoftheirsite,asmanydesiretoshowtheirbesttotheirpeersand

compoundedifstudentsmustcompleteotherassignmentssimultaneously(Kabilan&

Khan,2012).Inaddition,timeconstraintswilldecreasethequalityofwritingand
reflection(Kabilan&Khan,2012),whichdetractssignificantlyfromoneofthemajor
advantagesofcreatinge-portfolios.
Allofthesechallengescombinedposeasignificantmotivationalchallengeforstudents
(Toshetal.,2005.;Chuang,2015)whichinstructors,alongwithadministrationand
technicalsupport,mustaddressinordertosuccessfullyimplementane-portfolio
practice.
1.3.bChallengesforTeachersandAdministration
Teachersalsofacesteepinitialgrowingpainswhenfirstimplementinge-portfoliosin
theirclassrooms.Likeanynewpieceoftechnologyorpedagogicaltechnique,e-portfolios
requiremultipleiterationsinordertobeimplementedproperly(Khan,2014).
Considerationmustbetakentoaddressmanyoftheissuesstudentspotentiallyface;this
processcanbeextremelytimeconsumingfortheteacher.Ase-portfoliocreation
requiresalotofworkbystudents,itneedstobesoldandpromotedsuchthatstudents
consideritahelpfultoolratherthanameaninglesschoreformarks,tostopstudents
transformingaformativetoolintoasummativerole(Yangetal.,2016;Toshetal.,2005).
Studentsmustknowwhate-portfoliosare,howtheyaremade,andwhytheyare
importantforimplementationtosucceed(Toshetal.,2005).
Studentreluctanceisasignificantissuethatteachersmayexperience.Studentsusedto
receivinggradesfortasksmaydisregardtheformativeimportanceofe-portfolio
reflectionsandrequiregradestoinformthemselvesofcurrentprogressandmotivate
themselvestoimprove(Lam&Lee,2010),whileshiftingfromamarks-basedframework
toalearning-basedframework(Barrett&Wilkerson,2004).Furthermore,studentsmay
focusoncompletinge-portfoliosforthegraderatherthanforthemeta-cognitivelearning
experience(Klenowski,2002).
Coursestructureandassessmentpoliciesneedtobeadjustedinordertofitin
e-portfolios,suchasre-balancingassessmentweighting(Meyre&Lathan,2008).Priorto
implementation,teachersmustclearlydefinee-portfolioassessmentcriteria,including
ensuringvalidityandreliability,andnotifystudentsofhowitwillbemarked(Kabilan&
Khan,2012).Guidelinesthate-portfoliocontent,notvisuals,willbeassessedmustbe
explicitlyintroducedandreinforced(Toshetal.,2005).Sincee-portfoliosrelyonthe
internetasitsplatform,reliabilityisfurtherchallengedbypotentialissuesofplagiarism
thatcanarise(Browner,Pulsford,&Sears,2000)aswellasexcessiveoutsideassistance

GoalSetting
Studentsshouldincludedboththecoursegoalsandpersonalgoals.Researchsupports
theideathatwhenstudentsincludepersonalgoalsintoane-portfolio,theyaremore

gobeyondthisprojecttoincludetheirgoalsaroundtheirpersonaldevelopmentinthe
