A portfolio can be addressed as a collection of works of an individual. A portfolio is normally maintained due to the fact that individuals often move form one career to another. This can also be referred to as a collection in progress.
A portfolio can be used to plan, develop, organize and maintain an individuals personal information, educational aspects, work samples, skills, and critical information.
A portfolio will support the ownership of the individual profile, enhance learning and experience and focus on ease of use.
