Abstract

In this paper we will briefly touch distinctive characteristics of the generations known as baby boomers, generation x, generation y, and generation z; and then propose the use of e-portfolio (EP) as a learning and teaching tool and show how it aligns with the aspirations and values of the coming generation. With this respect a 7 week experiment on using EP in “Object Oriented Programming” course is run and the results of the instruments applied both before and after the experiment are analyzed to see if there is any change in the attitudes of the students towards using EP and their learning.
