For this week lecture, Madam Rozina talked about E-Portfolio. Before I start talking about how much benefit will people get by creating an E-Portfolio , I will briefly explain what it is.

E-Portfolio is a type of portfolio that is technology based. As we all know, a portfolio is used to keep students’ work over a period of time, for example on how and what they are learning, description of process of learning for evaluation and many more.  What makes it different from the usual portfolio is that it is actually done on the internet, for example, blogs. Blogs are usually used by people to store anything that people want to say, for instance, their opinions of something, experiences, facts they want to share with people, and many more. Students can also use blogs to store and share what they have been learning to other people.

My group mates and I think that the E - Portfolio will definitely give much benefit to people as it is easier to access. One click away and it is done. Compared to the usual portfolio, we will not be wasting a lot of time and also energy to just write it down. The most obvious reason we think that E-Portfolio is very advantageous is that it is very easy for other people to see our works, and it might help them in doing their assignments or give them new knowledge that they have never heard before. The information that can be stored in the E-Portfolio is unlimited. People can just click and look at all the information that are stored in the portfolio. Even in Islam, Muslims are encouraged to spread and share knowledge that they know to other people. People will not lose anything by sharing knowledge; instead, they will be rewarded by doing that.

Sabl bin Mu’ddh bin Anas narrated from his father that the Prophet i said: “Whoever teaches some knowledge will have the reward of the one who acts upon it, without that detracting from his reward in the slightest.”( Sunan Ibn e Majah, Book of Sunnah, Hadith no 240, Classified as Hasan By Allama Albani)

This hadith proves that people who share knowledge will not lose anything. It also shows how Islam encourages us Muslims to seek and also share any valuable and beneficial information.

                Using E-Portfolio also will not waste us so much time as it is very easy to organize. Those times and energy that are wasted, could be used to do other things that would benefit us, or to complete other works that are given to us. Using any technology-based tools will also show that people are not left behind with everything that is evolving.
