Since then, engineering educators and researchers have started to useportfolios in their teaching and are trying to explore the potentials of portfolios. Various effortshave focused on using portfolios in engineering instruction and the results of those efforts havebeen reported in the engineering education literature. This research provides educators usefulinformation on how to use or adopt portfolios efficiently in their classrooms.However, because of the diversity of the efforts to

In general, these tools each provide the instructor with a feature that is not readilyavailable in many LMS platforms. This may be because the feature is not broadly applicable toall LMS users or because a group of instructors decided to create a new tool that would behelpful to them. As with all forms of educational technologies, instructors should evaluate the tool beforeadopting it for a course. When using a tool for grading and feedback, instructors would be wiseto understand how laws such as FERPA, other government regulations, and institutional policiesgovern what may be done with student work. A review of privacy policies for each tool shouldbe conducted. Proper review of these policies may necessitate consultation with other
