1. Meaning of Portfolio
A digital portfolio is an organised collection of work that shows what a learner can do. It may include documents, spreadsheets, database screenshots, web safety notes, and project summaries.
2. Digital Evidence
Evidence proves that practical work was completed. It may include screenshots, exported files, short explanations, tables, charts, and final outputs.
3. File Organisation
