BENEFITS OF E-PORTFOLIO

It was quite difficult for me at the first time I got this task . But when I try to explore it , it become more interesting. I was enjoy doing this E-portfolio . The e-portfolio experience gave me a chance to find out about the skills I should be learning in college and there are ways that I can keep track of how I am doing. Now, with more knowledge of computer programs for developing Web pages, I decided to use e-portfolio as an opportunity to show and demonstrate all the skills that I have learned throughout my journey at UPSI.
