E-PORTFOLIO FOR NURSE EDUCATOR 2
Purpose of developing ePortfolio
An ePortfolio is a collection of work and evidence in an electronic form which showcases
learning over a period. Clinical nurse educators can store their files of various types which they
use to teach nursing students in the ePortfolio. All the evidence which are related to the course
been taught by clinical nurse educators are also found here (Faulkner, Mahfuzul Aziz, Waye &
Smith, 2013). Writing samples which include the drafts op various assignments which nursing
students have submitted are also stored in the ePortfolio to enhance efficient so that nurse
educators can have an easy time going through them. The ePortfolio is also capable of storing all
the projects which are prepared by the clinical nurse educator for extra curriculum activities.
Designers develop ePortfolio for clinical nurse educators so that they can use them for the
following purposes. With the use of ePortfolio, clinical nurse educators can demonstrate a
broader range of understanding to nursing students by reflecting on what they were taught. Nurse
educators use ePortfolio to guide students on how to connect what they have been trained with
other experiences which they have encountered in their residences and extra-curriculum
activities (Gordon & Campbell, 2013). While teaching, nurse educators can expand on their
resume by providing more details about their skills and accomplishments. Clinical nurse
educators who apply ePortfolio in the teaching job are at a high position of impressing their
employers by offering something which other nurses don’t have. Nurse educator uses ePortfolio
to document their progress, and they can learn how to communicate with students visually
through the use of fonts, colors, and graphics.
