What is a Digital Portfolio
An electronic portfolio (also known as an eportfolio, e-portfolio, or digital portfolio) is a collection of electronic evidence assembled and managed by a user, usually on theWeb. Such electronic evidence may include inputted text, electronic files, images, multimedia, blog entries, and hyperlinks. E-portfolios are both demonstrations of the user's abilities and platforms for self-expression, and, if they are online, they can be maintained dynamically over time. Some e-portfolio applications permit varying degrees of audience access, so the same portfolio might be used for multiple purposes. According to Anderson, e-portfolios can then go viral and be passed on to be easily viewed by many on the web.
What is a Wiki:
A wiki is usually a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in a collaboration with others. Text is usually written using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor. While a wiki is a type of content management system, cit differs from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.
What is a Blog:
A blog is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of
discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse
chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were
usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and
often covered a single subject. More recently "multi-author blogs"
(MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and
professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks, interest groups and similar institutions account for an
increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise of Twitter and other "micro blogging" systems
helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into societal new streams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add
content to a blog.
