Abstract

This article presents a map of the electronic portfolio practice in Spanish universities gathered through the National Electronic Portfolio Net between the years 2006 and 2008. The Net consists of 16 research teams in universities and company teams from different parts of the country, who have experience in undertaking actions aimed at developing electronic portfolios (eportfolios). The map was drawn after analysing 81 university experiences. The type of portfolio, the kind of software or technological applications used, the aim and the structure are the main features of the experiences taken into account for the analysis. The results and implications presented in this article promote reflection on issues related to the development of portfolio practices in the eportfolio variety.
