Abstract: There has been a growing interest in using an e-portfolio as an alternative method of assessment in an open distance eLearning environment. The use of an e-portfolio as another method of assessment in Environmental Education (EE) has not been sufficiently researched. The purpose of this study was to explore how the use of an e-Portfolio as an alternative method of assessment enhances pre-service teachers' technological pedagogy in an environmental education module. Qualitative data was collected using interviews and document analysis. The study employed interpretive paradigm, connectivism theory, and purposive sampling. A qualitative approach was employed to analyse and identify emerging themes from the data. The qualitative findings are that the e-portfolio was significant in assessing sustainable education, enhanced the pre-service teachers' digital pedagogy. Challenges included a lack of computer skills, connectivity, support during compilation of e-portfolio, and sufficient activities to promote teachers' digital pedagogy.
