Abstract
E-portfolios in learning environments have been attributed numerous benefits and their presence has been steadily increasing. And so has the variety of environments in which a student participates. Collaborative learning requires communication and resource sharing among team members. Students may participate in multiple teams throughout a long period of time, sometimes even simultaneously. Conventional e-portfolios are oriented toward showcasing individual achievements, but they need to also equally reflect collaborative achievements. The approach described in this paper has the objective of offering students an e-portfolio as a local folder their personal computer containing a combined view of their individual and collaborative work spaces. The content of this folder can be synchronized with a remote server thus achieving resource sharing and publication of a clearly identified set of resources.
