Work in progress — Computer science e-portfolios: Perspectives from upper and lower division students

An e-portfolio is an online multimedia-capable portfolio that showcases a student´s collection of academic learning, achievements, knowledge, and skills. While using e-portfolios to showcase student work has been a hot topic in the engineering education community, the topic has received less attention in the computer science education community. This paper presents a work in progress comparing the use of e-portfolios early in a computer science student´s academic career versus late. We find that there are benefits to each approach, both from a student perspective and an instructor perspective.
