It outlines how ePortfolios can be used to document an individual's skills, competencies, accomplishments and results. The document provides guidance on developing an effective ePortfolio, including choosing relevant artifacts, linking them to competencies using a C-CAR (Context-Action-Results) format, and using the portfolio for career management, job applications and performance evaluations. It also profiles available ePortfolio tools like Adobe Acrobat that allow multimedia content without website development skills.
