Access from anywhere, anytime
Allows students to work when and where they want and parents to view their child's work at any time, with 24/7 online access. No restriction to a single geographical location.
No software to install
No hardware or software to install and doesn't need an army of technicians to look after it.
Enhance IT skills
Regularly using an e-portfolio enhances a student's information technology skills, and helps them make connections between their formal and informal learning experiences.
Safe storage of students' work
Enables the safe storage and sharing of work with teachers and parents. No physical paper-based portfolio is needed, alleviating the problem of lost or forgotten work.
Useful add-ons
There are numerous fun add-ons students can build into their e-portfolio - they can add movies, podcasts, photos and documents, ask for comments on their work, link to their favourite websites, create a resume, write a blog - these are just a few of the great features available. When they have the blocks in place they can personalise their e-portfolio by changing the background as often as they like, giving students a sense of ownership.
Increase transparency for benchmarking
Using e-portfolios teachers can review, assess and provide feedback about a student's work, this is a fresh, personalised and collaborative approach to assessment which engages and motivates students.
Promote secure social networking
Student Jotter allows teachers to educate children about social networking in a safe, controlled environment. The website is designed to ensure teachers can monitor what students are accessing. Student Jotter harnesses the positive points of social media platforms and makes them appropriate for a learning environment.

I took the students into the computer lab, logged them into a chatroom and said, ‘Tonight your teacher will read over this chat log and find out who participated and what each person contributed. He might want to grade you on this discussion’. I gave the students three or four questions to consider and they worked on them for an hour without complaint. The log was a very clear document for the returning teacher. I would say that the chat was a far better substitute teacher than I might have found otherwise!
