In the article entitled: Learning, Reflection, and Electronic Portfolio's: stepping towards an assessment practice it goes over the common belief that though there are many efficient assessment systems in place there is not a great system for self assessment at all. According to the article that it is essential for students to not only turn in assesments to thier teachers but that they get a sense of self improvement and progress (or degression). Therefore "Learning, reflection and electronic portfolios" suggest that the best way students can go about this missing assessment is through electronic portfolios.

The article goes on to say that electronic portfolios that can be accessed anywhere on the web are not only a great source for learning but help the student create a learning identity, earning a working sense of self. Furthermore portfolios help take a picture of the students progress so that they can better understand their experiences. The article hopes that eventually the students will see progress of their own learning in patterns showcased in their work so that they may perform better in the near future. Ultimately these online portfolios (or any portfolios) would help students understand that they are improving in their skills over time.
