The Association, AAEEBL (pronounced "able") is an unusual professional association in that it focuses on the kind of learning that can result from using ePortfolios. For more about AAEEBL, go to http://www.aaeebl.org.

ePortfolio brief definition:
1. an institutional repository with functionality to link student work to learning outcomes; accountability; accreditation; institutional assessment
2. a student learning portfolio owned by the student to make her work selectively visible to others, and increase opportunities for reflection and awareness of herself as a learner.

The technology does nothing by itself. But if educators transform teaching methods and develop a learning outcomes rubric structure, an ePortfolio initiative may succeed. The fundamental curricular change must come first.
