Abstract: Nurse educators are continually challenged to facilitate the integration of theory and practice to prepare competent graduate nurses. One method suitable to measure competence is the electronic portfolio (ePortfolio). Portfolios are a goal-driven, organized collection of items (artifacts) that demonstrate a learner's expansion of knowledge and skills over time. Learning portfolios are becoming accepted in associate degree nursing education as an efficient method of documenting and evaluating student learning and program outcomes.
