- Abstract: EPortfolios have long been associated with encouraging learners to develop learner autonomy by helping them document and reflect on their learning processes and developing suitable learning strategies. While there is plentiful research in this area, it is still unclear the specific ways in which learners feel that maintaining an ePortfolio can help develop their reflective practices, and implementation of learning strategies. To address this, we surveyed and interviewed learners on an International Foundation Programme regarding their year-long use of ePortfolio practices to ascertain which skills and abilities they felt they developed, and in what ways this was of use to them in their current and future learning journey. The results section synthesizes survey and interview data to represent the students’ voices and their feelings regarding the creation and maintenance of an ePortfolio, and the development of skills. The thematic analysis of the data suggests that students feel that the use of an ePortfolio is challenging but that it facilitates self-efficacy through the improvement of creative, organizational, reflective, revision and technological skills. The discussion and conclusion present ideas about how these practices can be developed in the future, and how other practitioners may decide to implement an ePortfolio in their own context.
