The purpose of this paper is to present the possibilities of integrating e-portfolio in everyday classroom practice. This is a dynamic and challenging process for the learner because it puts him/her into an active role. It is supported by the monitoring of learner’s progress, where teacher’s feedback plays the key role in the learning process.

This paper presents an e-portfolio in the light of two school systems: the Slovenian and the Scottish. In the first one the developmental e-portfolio has been implemented into school practice, and in the second one there is a greater emphasis on student’s profile. The connecting elements of both systems are the elements of formative assessment, which have lately been implemented in Slovenian schools, while on the other hand they present the fundamental doctrine of teaching and learning in Scotland. The key focus of this paper is to address the need of giving greater importance to the e-portfolio in pupils’ education, which has, besides an evaluative, also a relational function, being beneficial for the teacher.

The basic elements, which will be presented at the conference, are the following: e-portfolio as a documented process of learning, teaching and pupils’ achievements, such as e-portfolio of a learner in Slovenian and Scottish primary school, further possibilities of the development of the e-portfolio enhancing its value in the school system, and enabling teachers for autonomous decision making when introducing the e-portfolio in their classrooms.
