Abstract
This chapter aims to investigate perceptions regarding the implementation of Electronic Portfolio (e-portfolio) for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Sport and Recreation Leadership program. Sixty students (Males = 35, 58.3%, Females = 24, 40%) participated in a pilot study by electronically submitting their internship experience portfolio to the Mahara e-portfolio system. A compulsory training workshop was conducted in October 2013. Students submitted their CV, internship information, student reflections and artefacts to the Mahara e-portfolio system during and after the internship in 2014. Students’ perceptions and lecturers’ comments on e-portfolio implementation were collected and discussed in this chapter.
