So far, I don’t see ePortfolio as being super helpful  to me honestly. To me, most online work for school or classes seems like just a more distracting way to do the same work that could be done on paper. It’s very easy for my mind to wander as it is, so doing work online makes it even more challenging. It’s hard to block out what else I could be doing online instead (and my phone notifications that pop up on the screen don’t help that). Mostly, I just rush work if it’s online, because it doesn’t feel as important to do it well.

While I have mostly pessimistic views of this learning space, I do think it could prove to be helpful in some ways. Unlike with paper assignments, you can receive feedback much easier and faster. Using these ePortfolios will allow us to see the work of our peers, which could be very useful. We can comment on stuff to help them out, as well as getting new ideas and perspectives to possibly incorporate into our own work. It also makes it less uncomfortable to be honest about flaws you find in a peer’s writing rather than saying it straight to them. Overall I don’t see this platform as being extremely helpful, but also I don’t see it as being totally a waste of time either.
