Alternative assessment is a way to evaluate students that goes beyond traditional tests. Instead of just measuring what students know at a specific moment, it focuses on how they've grown and how their learning can inform future instruction. It provides means of assessing valued skills that cannot be directly assessed with pen and paper test, more realistic setting for student performance rather than traditional test, focus on student performance and the quality of work performed by students, and can be easily aligned with established learning outcomes.

In today's digital age, where technology is a constant companion, e-portfolios offer a fresh approach to student assessment. These digital collections showcase a variety of student work, from essays and posters to photographs and artwork. They serve as a visual record of students' academic journeys, highlighting their growth and accomplishments.

Given the familiarity of technology among modern students, incorporating e-portfolios into education is a natural fit. This digital tool not only provides a tangible representation of students' progress but also encourages reflection and self-assessment.

By incorporating alternative assessments into their practice, educators can gain a deeper understanding of their students' learning and provide more effective support.
