Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, the authors will synthesize current literature pertaining to e-portfolios in order to identify best practices for their use as an assessment tool. Second, the authors will examine how Web 2.0 technologies present new opportunities for easily creating dynamic content and meeting user needs such as privacy and lifelong access. E-Portfolios have found a fairly consistent place in higher education, but along with consistency often comes complacency; reflection is sacrificed for efficiency and the benefits of new technologies are overlooked in order to maintain familiarity. This paper will provide educators with processes that allow them to assess students in a manner that is meaningful to both student and instructor, using technologies that make the experience innovative and user-friendly.
