“…This was confirmed in research by Ring, Waugaman and Brackett [38] in which students who had used an ePortfolio were able to more effectively convey their achievements in a mock job interview. Additionally, Wetcho and Na-Songkhla [39] assert that the ePortfolio is a useful tool for building self-efficacy regarding career decisions. They claim that it can help students to make better decisions about their education and professional careers.…”

<p class="0abstract">In this paper, the authors explore the potential of the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio) as a recruitment tool, in particular whether Human Resources directors would be willing to use it during the recruitment and selection process. The ePortfolio presents, documents, reflects on, and fosters students’ skills, credentials, certificates and diverse formal and informal experiences in a structured and well-organized manner. Because the ePortfolio is, by nature, flexible and adaptable, an ePortfolio developed with the help of professors over the course of a students' studies can easily be incorporated into professional networking platforms as a job search tool and showcase the skills required for a successful applicant. It is often said that the difference between what is taught in the academic world and the practical skills that are required by the business sector make it difficult for students to access the labor market. The ePortfolio may help to reconcile both worlds. In order to examine whether Human Resources directors are willing to use an ePortfolio as a recruitment tool, a survey was carried out among fifty-two Human Resources directors. The research findings reveal that an educational ePortfolio can count on significant approval in the business sector. This research study is relevant as it provides valuable information on this topic and it is the only one to date, conducted among HR directors in the context of Spanish-speaking countries.</p>

“…In short, an integrative learning experience with ePortfolio can be achieved either with a single course or across an entire program as long as it is supported by a sustained, thoughtful, and coordinated ePortfolio integration. As noted by education scholars, practitioners, reflection is the key component of any successful integrative ePortfolio learning experience [6,9,10,16,26,27,28,29,30,31,32]. Meaningful and powerful reflections enhance personal development through change in attitude and behavior, which in and of itself can be considered a high-impact behavior [6,9,10,33].…”

Two different post-secondary professional education programs from two different cities (New York and Madrid) took a similar approach in using ePortfolio to facilitate high-impact behaviors (HIBs) among their students while showing how the ePortfolio enhances and supports other high impact practices (HIPs). In Madrid, ePortfolio was utilized to support a Matumaini Project as it integrated the academic work carried out in the classrooms to help a community in Kenya. On the other side of the Atlantic, the ePortfolio was implemented in order to connect didactic learning from the classroom to the clinical practice in the local community. Both case studies suggested that the ePortfolio combined with other high-impact practices plays a complementary role with other High-Impact Practices (HIPs) in higher education. Our statistical analysis sheds light on the relationship between seven high-impact behaviors present when two high-impact practices, such as the ePortfolio and Service-Learning, are combined. The correlations, both combined and by city, demonstrate the importance of promoting two high-impact behaviors in particular, which are: 1) quality interaction between the students and the professors and 2) providing opportunities to relate academic learning to real world experiences. When these two high-impact behaviors were maximized, our data suggest that the use of other high-impact behaviors examined in this study expanded as well. This research also confirms the importance of providing students a way to relate their classroom learning with real-world experiences.

“…There is evidence that students getting ready to enter the workforce benefit from the process of making their career ePortfolio. The reflection necessary to develop an ePortfolio can help students make better educational and career-related decisions [24]. Likewise, by organizing their skills and achievements into an ePortfolio the students not only have digital artefacts of their learning, but also formulate how to explain or present their qualifications to a prospective employer [26].…”

“…Furthermore, a study on ePortfolio use among students who took business communication courses, revealed that the ePortfolio fosters self-awareness and active learning, as well as professional identity [17]. Moreover, several researchers identified skills and competences that can be developed through ePortfolios such as goal setting, collaborative learning, autonomous learning, self-assessment skills, reflective skills, digital literacy, digital identity, work readiness, professional identity, selfmanagement, and lifelong learning [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Other potential benefits of the ePortfolios for students are: "enhanced learning experiences and outcomes; enhanced employability; enhanced career development; enhanced professional identity and judgement making" (Ref.…”

The ePortfolio has been used extensively in education in various countries and for diverse career paths. It is a dynamic platform that students can use to compile and formulate a digital presentation using different types of media which can be updated and adapted for distinct purposes and audiences. Because the ePortfolio is, by nature, flexible and adaptable, it can be developed over the course of a student’s studies and be easily incorporated into professional networking platforms as a job search tool. The objective of this study was to assess and compare the willingness of school principals from Poland and Spain to use the ePortfolio as a hiring tool. The authors also sought to ascertain whether the number of employees in the participants’ schools or previous contact with ePortfolio affected their opinion of it as a hiring tool. Participants took a survey after reviewing examples of career ePortfolios, and their answers were tabulated and analyzed. The results show that principals from both countries would be inclined to use the ePortfolio as a hiring tool, and that neither previous contact nor number of employees significantly affected their opinion. These results are significant as they demonstrate a broad willingness to implement the ePortfolio as a hiring tool, that was not significantly affected by country or size of school. It is also relevant that this broad support was shared by principals who were unfamiliar with the ePortfolio before participating in this study.
