'The study specifically sought to test the reliability of the assessment
processes, the procedures used to train the teachers in the portfolio devel-
opment process, and the utility of the instruments in estimating student
progress over time.'
Results suggest that e-portfolios are marked equally to real portfolios even though some teachers were concerned that 'digital reproductions of artworks may not accurately reproduce levels of excellence or subtle characteristics the actual artworks contained.'
I must admit this is a concern of mine. One that is seriously considered each an every time an artwork is photographed, knowing that at some point you will use that photograph to apply for residences, competitions or gallery shows. If the photograph is a poor reproduction then this effects your success, however to photograph and email or send a disk is practical on so many other levels that one must just make sure to photograph well! For students this can be of course an issue.
