Abstract (2. Language):
The use of e-portfolio becomes a standard tool when it comes to learning and student's assessment. This is due
to the teachers need for enhancing their students’ autonomy. The use of e-portfolio helps students to focus on
their own learning process. Lectures should not be limited only to classes, but must foster active learning, and
in this regard, the introduction of the e-portfolio is an excellent tool because it stimulates collaborative and
cooperative work among students and, in turn, it encourages feedback by the teacher. To apply active
methodologies during 2014-15, the e-portfolio was introduced in the course of Linear Algebra. To prepare the
work of the e-portfolio the teacher had to define precisely the objectives that must be achieved by the
students, and has had to plan in an understandable manner the tasks that the students can work independently
outside the classroom. For the realization of the e-portfolio have been used different platforms. Each quarter of
the students worked on a different platform, through AteneaLabs that provided templates so that each student
make their own e-portfolio, as well as it provide all necessary manuals. The platforms used were: Mahara,
Exabis, WordPress and Google Sites. Formative assessment of the e-portfolio had been made from different
rubrics defined in the course syllabus and known by students since the beginning of the course.
