Abstract:
Since the beginning of the implementation of the Bologna process has been carried out, educational reform in the European Higher Education Area, that places the student at the center of the teaching-learning process. This paradigm shift has required the introduction of more active teaching strategies along with the introduction of new assessment models that help teachers to organize the student's actual work and integrate Information Communication and Technology tools. Camilo José Cela University has taken this challenge by creating a new departmental structure in which, in addition to integrating a new LMS platform to support teachers to develop new methodological strategies and assessment tools, new figures have been incorporated as the ICT Coordinator or ICT delegate, links between students and the teaching community. This new LMS platform allows, among other technological tools, teachers and students to create their own ePortfolio by a specific editor that provides a new virtual space with personal, academic and professional achievements while also adding an assessment and justification of the importance of these. Therefore, the introduction of e-portfolio in our university classrooms has led to the development of new teaching methodologies and the actions of educational innovation.
