Introduction to reflective teaching portfolio for higher education educators.

Processes and components involved in preparing case narratives and evidences for a teaching portfolio.

Walkthrough to an example of interactive teaching portfolio prepared using UUM e-Portfolio and other online platforms.

"An e-portfolio makes lifelong learning real. Whether it’s your own professional development or your students’ experiences, by collecting products or objects of learning from real-life tasks and reflecting on these, personal meanings are developed. The reflective process tells stories about these experiences and the e-portfolio is the book in which they are recorded."

Smith (2018)
