Sometimes called an e-portfolio or online portfolio. Distinct from a CV — a CV claims, a portfolio shows.
A digital portfolio is a web-accessible collection of a learner's work — deliverables, credentials, reflections, and context — organised so a prospective employer can review the work before any interview. Each artefact is linkable on its own, so a recruiter can share, save, or refer to specific pieces without sending the whole portfolio.
The defining contrast is with the CV. A CV claims experience and skills; a portfolio shows them. Hiring teams in early-career roles increasingly ask for portfolio links alongside CVs because the portfolio answers the next question — what does this person's work actually look like.
Ewance's credential infrastructure is a portfolio under the hood. Every challenge a student ships becomes a portfolio entry — the deliverable, the brief, the rubric assessment, the verifiable credential. A student can share a single Ewance credential, share a thematic collection across challenges, or link to the full portfolio. All of it is web-accessible, recruiter-checkable, owned by the student.
The fastest way to know whether challenge-based learning fits you is to ship one.
