Purpose and Design of a Digital Environment for the Professional Insertion of Students Based on the E-portfolio Approach

Abstract

Before the development of the web, we talk about the portfolio; it was represented by a simple portfolio of student skills in paper form. This form of representation of skills and professional career has continued to develop over the years. After a succession of several stages in the concept of the portfolio, this simple paper form was transformed into a digital form called an e-portfolio, which is centered on the personal and collective learning dynamics throughout the life of the student. In the digital age, the curriculum vitae (CV) is the first door to professional integration. But the paper CV remains a document too linear and has not adapted to the complexity of current modes and channels of communication. The objective of our research work is the purpose and design of a digital environment for the professional insertion of students based on the e-portfolio, allowing students to build and enhance academic and extra-academic achievements while being part of a lifelong learning approach, to develop their digital visibility by capitalizing on training achievements and skills obtained, and to present themselves digitally.
