ePortfolio: l’uso di ambienti online per favorire l’orientamento in itinere nel percorso universitario.

This pilot study concernes the construction of an ePortfolio carried out by students in the Course of “Didactic of the Educational Guidance”* during the academic year 2013/14. The aim is to facilitate the orientation of university students through documentation of learning lived experiences and reflection about them. In particular, it was realized a showcase portfolio by the use of Mahara, an open source platform. The opinions of students, measured by input and output questionnaires, in relation to the research hypothesis (Mahara usability, conception and design of the eP to promote awareness of the educational process), show a very positive experience about metacognition and individual and collegial reflection, as well as some critical issues related to the projection of the instrument in a working future.
