“…The results show that the e-Portfolio is a tool with strengths for labour market entry, while also revealing the weaknesses that students find in it. This study therefore shows that e-Portfolios can assist students when entering the labour market as a form of self-advertising [11].…”

Putting together a Portfolio of evidence is a difficult, time-consuming, and intimidating undertaking, especially when emergency remote online teaching and learning is required as compelled by COVID-19 restrictions. Under these conditions, student teachers were required to finish their school experience teaching practice and provide portfolios of evidence to demonstrate their developing teaching competencies. Given that there were no contact lectures or tutorials during this time, these students had to rely on Blackboard support through online workshops and pre-recorded training sessions to help them construct their school experience e-portfolios. The aim of this study was to evaluate how Blackboard support equipped the student teachers to develop their e-portfolios with no face-to-face contact sessions. This study examined the benefits of Blackboard support in the building of e-Portfolios by student teachers. The fourth-year and Post-Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) students submitted data through a qualitative survey in which they narratively conveyed their perspectives on support provided for e-portfolios. Thematic analysis was used to extract meaning units, which were then aggregated into themes and then presented as categories suggested by the research questions. This study evaluates Blackboard support as well as the affordances that are most and least attended achieved with the Blackboard e-Portfolio module, and through the support provided by the workshop facilitators. Recommendations on the effective use of Blackboard, the practices that would foster the realisation of all the conceptual, practical and reflective competencies and the enhancement of e-Portfolio development for the school experience are provided.

“…In addition, peer assessment is also considered an alternative assessment procedure and has been recognized as an activity used by learners to assess each other's performance (Ebrahimi et al, 2021). The use of an eportfolio improves students' development of metacognitive ability especially in implementing as well as evaluating (Gutiérrez-Santiuste et al, 2022;Händel et al, 2020;Karami et al, 2019;López-Crespo et al, 2022;Lukitasari et al, 2021;Segaran & Hasim, 2021;. In each phase of the projects, students actively discuss their project development with the lecturers as well as their peers to obtain success.…”

Objective: This study aims to determine the most effective application of assessment in improving metacognitive skills in the learning process. Method: The method used is a literature review. A literature review is defined as an investigation of scientific articles, books, and other sources related to a particular problem, field of research, or theory to provide an overview, summary, and evaluation of scientific work. This research method uses several steps, including (1) topic identification about Assessment as Learning and metacognitive skill; (2) search and select appropriate articles by Scopus and Google Scholar; (3) analyze and synthesize literature; and (4) text organization. Results: Assessment as learning can be applied using self-assessment, peer assessment, making portfolios and rubrics, as well as group discussions and the teacher. This approach can also be designed online or offline. Self-assessment and peer assessment are more effective in improving metacognitive skills in learning. Novelty: This study can provide an overview assessment design by actively involving learners to improve metacognitive skills, which can help realize the achievement of learning objectives.

“…Also, E-Portfolio gives feedback or results of reflection (concerning achievement or quality standards) when internal or external parties are assigned to conduct review and monitoring [11]. Indeed, the presence of E-Portfolio is an indication that the development of knowledge and technology could offer new solution to TVET to increase the absorption of workforce into the industry [11] [12].…”

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is an education sector that prepares individuals with the skills required by the industry to improve the individuals' employability and competitiveness as workforce at national and international levels. The use of information technology as education technology in TVET supports the integration of technological advancement with TVET components in order to assure the compatibility between the graduates' skills and the industrial needs. E-Portfolio as one fruit of the advancement of knowledge and technology offers a new solution to improve the absorption of TVET graduates as the workforce into the industry. The usability of E-Portfolio is determined by the design of E-Portfolio development that should describe the skills and competences of the graduates more precisely to the industry with an expectation to increase the absorption of the graduates into the employment world. E-Portfolio in this article is designed using website-based technology that is supported with four features, namely Portfolio Insight, Portfolios, Portfolio Journey, and My Library. Navigation support system is included in the design of E-Portfolio and becoming innovative in portfolio development stages. The navigation support system takes a form as the textual guidance in the media users choose to exhibit their learning evidence.
