Abstract:
We report the experience carried out for 2 years based on the use of e-portfolio in the context of the subject "Museografía didactica" on the MA in Cultural Heritage Management at the University of Barcelona.

This subject began in the 2006-2007, as new matter in the Master, bringing a new teaching methodology and assessment, in which ICTs are a normal part of both the teaching-learning process and the evaluation process.

The experience describes the incorporation of e-portfolio as process (and outcome) of learning of skills in the field of cultural management. Students are invited to create their own "Pot" (that's what has been termed generically to e-portfolio in the context of the subject), which must show the different learning associated with the study, presentation and dissemination of heritage, practical experience in analyzing whether or not directly involved.

The tool of e-portfolios (as a blog) has been used to demonstrate the application of different specific skills of the professional field.
