Abstract: The e-portfolio in education and professional development assists the work that a learner has designed, documented and presented individually or in collaboration. Reflection process in the portfolio-assisted learning fosters the development of generic and transferable knowledge and skills that a learner needs in knowledge economy. This article focuses on professional learning, using the e-portfolio in a web-based learning community. The open source e-portfolio system is presented, and e-portfolio functionalities in continuous professional development: functions, influencing factors and modes of use are outlined. Sociocultural constructivism provides the theoretical framework when analysing e-portfolio support system for professional development within the web-based professional learning community. Web-based communities foster the interplay of intentional and non-intentional learning, embedded in day-to-day workplace practices. The study of adopting e-portfolio as a!
tool in professional learning with special emphasis on its efficiency in collaborative learning and sustaining participation in a professional learning community is presented.
