Abstract

Promoting accessibility and inclusivity in e-portfolios is a paramount consideration in modern education to ensure equitable opportunities for all learners. This imperative involves a multifaceted approach. Firstly, e-portfolio platforms must align with accessibility standards, making them compatible with assistive technologies for students with disabilities. Secondly, educators should provide guidance on creating accessible content within e-portfolios, fostering inclusivity for diverse learning needs. Customizable interfaces that accommodate various preferences and backgrounds further enhance accessibility. Additionally, e-portfolios should embrace linguistic and cultural diversity to reflect the richness of student experiences. Finally, educators must promote an inclusive environment that encourages students to authentically represent their abilities and experiences while guarding against perpetuating biases. Embracing these principles transforms e-portfolios into powerful tools that empower learners of all backgrounds and abilities to excel and engage in the educational journey.
