Abstract

In accordance with the concept of the Bologna Process, special attention is paid to the increment in the personal activity of students in the educational process. One of the methods used for that is an electronic portfolio. One of the most pressing problems is to choose the means of the e-portfolio implementation. The present article discusses the possibility of using web-based technologies, education control systems and cloud computing technologies for that purpose. We compared the functional characteristics of the most widespread virtual educational environments and opportunities offered by the respective cloud services. The paper presents the kinds, main components, target audience and functions of e-portfolio, determines the factors influencing the choice of the instrument of the e-portfolio implementation and provides the overview of those instruments. We formulated the requirements related to the system of the e-portfolio implementation and studied the problems and advantages of using the cloud computing technology for that purpose.
