Regarding the role and use of e-portfolios in this study, it is important to note that the e-portfolio toolwas not simply used as a repository
of students’ artifacts. As Balaban et al. (2013) note, the learning aspect of e-portfolios not only embraces the storage and presentation of past
work and experience, but also encompasses reflection and feedback. A Web 2.0 e-portfolio facilitates participation, collaboration and
interaction among learners and makes feedback easier for both teachers and students (Barrett, 2007)
