An e-portfolio is a digital instrument with the aim of powering the self-reflection about the lifelong learning process by means of gathering the acquired knowledge, the living experiences and the fulfillment of learning and personal goals.
We have created a WordPress web page where pupils can include all their reflections about the learning experience accross this project.
