[Portfolio - a tool for making learning and competence development visible].

Portfolio used in education can be defined as a collection of documentation of performed learning activities, feedback, and progress. Currently, the documentation is electronic, hence the term e-portfolio is used. The portfolio must have a clear purpose and be aligned with the learning outcomes of the program. To be successfully implemented a portfolio must be an integral part of the education with defined tasks for both the students and the teachers. Students and teacher support in how to use the portfolio is essential especially in the beginning of the program. Learning analytics enables teachers to identify and develop support for students at risk of not achieving the outcomes.
