Abstract
E-portfolio is a new type of software. The transition from portfolios to the use of e-portfolio systems is accelerating with the Web 2.0 output. However, the selection and control of e-portfolio systems become more difficult. Therefore, architectural educators do not know exactly which e-portfolio system to choose, for what purpose, and where to use it. In this article, an e-portfolio system evaluation model is proposed to guide architectural educators who evaluate e-portfolio software. The article will raise expectations from e-portfolio systems to a more conscious level. As a result, it will raise awareness about the purpose of using the e-portfolio system and which e-portfolio system should be preferred in line with the objectives. In addition, it will contribute to the development of e-portfolio systems that will be redesigned in line with the needs. Based on this, in this article; (i) first of all, portfolio/e-portfolio is explained and the usage areas of e-portfolio systems are mentioned, (ii) in the continuation, the potential of e-portfolio systems in architectural education is emphasized and a model is created in which e-portfolio systems will be evaluated in this direction, (iii) finally, e-portfolio systems selected for evaluation are tested in line with the proposed model and aim to be a preliminary study in order to contribute to the field.
