What is the student’s interest on ePortfolio?
• Career development? - a big interest by words but low presence in the system in fact
• AUCA ePortfolio as alumni social network – the place where you can meet - it works!

AUCA Alumni Network: Always Stay Connected
“Having an ePortfolio would be amazing for the alumni association.
It would provide the alumni with a special online space through which they can start their networking or simply share their academic or professional achievements.
…ePortfolio can also help to build a solid alumni database for the future.
(Aigul K. Kasymova, Director of the Annual Fund and Alumni Relations (AUCA)
