compare and contrast between online portfolios and normal portfolios.

Nowadays, no one can deny that arrangement your work and papers is important. So you must create a portfolio to arrange your life. In this essay I will help you to decide what kind of portfolios you can choose. And I will compare and contrast between online and tradition paper-based portfolios. Also I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each.



In other words portfolios are files that you can save and arrange your papers and work from loss and damage.

We can see the traditional paper-based portfolios which is everyone knows to save our papers and information. It has several advantages such as easy to see a glance when you want to find the information and teacher comments clearly visible also the student's editing is visible. The other advantage is no internet connection required. For example, the teachers at primary school taught us to how to make a paper-based portfolios because we did not have the internet connection. On the other hand there are many disadvantages. It makes you take more and more work and it can exhaust you because it is bulky , easy to lose a lot of copies, difficult to edit and difficult to share or to show to employers or school. A good example last semester some students were too lazy to bring the file with them because it is too heavy and has a lot of paperwork So, one of them left a file in the restaurant and it become dirty.


On the other hand we have a online portfolios which is used in big companies and mostly in the business field. There are many positive and negative points for online portfolios. The first and most important positive point, is online portfolios very easy to edit mistakes so I do not have problems if I do any mistakes. Also it does not make us tired because it is available anywhere and it is very portable. Also I like online portfolios because prevents other people from stealing my work because it is a private file and benefit me in the participation of other opinions and can be commented on by other students also writer can respond to comments. Although there are a number of positives points but there are few negatives. One of the negative points is may or may not be easy to see how the student edited his text, without original copies present.


In my opinion, online portfolios are better than the normal file because it is easier in work you can easily to correct the mistakes and also it does not make us tired because it is very light and you can use the media to be very clear and wonderful.
