Portfolios : Paper or Online?


Nowadays lot of people uses many things to organize their works. Colleges & universities student use some material and techniques to save their job and their time. Some of these materials are online Portfolios and big paper file. In this essay I will compare and contrast online and paper-based portfolios and give my preference.

Portfolios are collections of students' work over time. And this can be in a big paper file or online portfolios. Paper file which you carry it and you but the real paper in it .But, the Online paper is free Space in the Internet, Where you can type and upload your text.

Firstly, the based portfolio is huge, so you will not be able to carry it anywhere. Also, you can easy lose it, because you have only one copy. If you use it you will find difficulties to show or share your Colleagues. On the other hand, it is easy to see a glance .Also, you're and your teacher editing will be clearly visible.

Secondly, the online portfolio is very portable. Also, it is easy to edit, you can adjust whatever you want easily. And. You can use new media like sound, video and presentations. But, you need internet connection to open your online files, and sometimes you can't find it anywhere.
At the conclusion both are very good. But, I think online portfolios are better. I can use it easily. And it is portable. And it can be commented on by other student.
