Abstract
The role of portfolios has lately become more important in universities as a part of learning and professional growth. We believe that successful adoption of e-portfolios require two fundamental issues. Firstly, valuable information is created during the courses. Importing this information to the portfolio from various sources and describing it with metadata should also be made as simple as possible to ease the maintenance and motivating the students. Secondly, portfolio has to be well-organized. Organizing may be completed in various ways and for varying needs, but a good starting point during the creation is to follow studentspsila personal study plans and defined structure. Visible structure gives also better chances for successful representation or re-organizing of existing portfolio. In addition to this, bringing course pre-requisites and tacit information as a part of portfolios can deepen the presentation of provided information and description of personal knowledge.
