- Motivate the learner.
- The learner can see what she has accomplished.
- The portfolio helps the learner take responsibility. The learner
decides what the goals should be and defines when the goal has been reached.
- Can take on different forms to achieve their purpose.
Dianne Hill advocates the use of
portfolios for Aboriginal learners.
"Because Aboriginal people come
from an oral tradition... Aboriginal
people can often do quite well in
creating portfolios that are based
on audio-cassette or videotape
presentation methods."
