Addressing these limitations is to leverage the potential of technology to create a comprehensive and user-friendly electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) system. This study aimed to investigate the required national standard and functionalities of e-portfolios for showcasing students’ and teachers’ performance. This study adopted qualitative research methods to investigate the context under study. Interviews, documents, and reports with and from students, lecturers, administrators, and educational experts provided insights into the specific requirements and expectations for an effective electronic portfolio system.

Addressing these limitations is to leverage the potential of technology to create a comprehensive and user-friendly electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) system. This study aimed to investigate the required national standard and functionalities of e-portfolios for showcasing students' and teachers' performance. This study adopted qualitative research methods to investigate the context under study. Interviews, documents, and reports with and from students, lecturers, administrators, and educational experts provided insights into the specific requirements and expectations for an effective electronic portfolio system. One hundred twenty-five participants were randomly sampled for the study in the Abuja Metropolis of Nigeria. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview and case study approach. A deductive approach was employed for the coding and analysis of the transcribed data. The findings identified several key features and functionalities required in an electronic portfolio system: Customizability and Flexibility, Alignment with Standards, Multimedia Capabilities, Reflection, and Goal-Setting Tools. Both students and teachers generally perceived the use of electronic portfolios positively. The respondents highlighted technological barriers, such as lack of necessary skills, limited access to devices or reliable internet connectivity; time constraints; and resistance to change as challenges in using e-portfolios to showcase their performance. Based on a systematic analysis of interview data from the respondents, the qualitative study offers a framework for exploring, understanding, and discussing the standard for and the impact of developing electronic portfolios for student and teacher performance.

The concept under investigation was examined using a descriptive survey research design type in the Abuja metropolis of Nigeria. The objective was to examine the impact of technology-based assessments on students' attitudes, motivation and learning outcomes. A researcher-designed questionnaire was used to collect data for this study. The questionnaire was both face and content validated by three lecturers from the Department of Educational Technology of the National Open University of Nigeria. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistical tools (frequency and percentages) after it had been carefully cleaned and coded. The study's findings revealed that technology-based assessments positively impact students' learning outcomes and provided more accurate and timely feedback to teachers and students. Also, it was discovered that the use of technology in assessments would be efficient in enhancing students’ engagement and motivation. It was also revealed that teachers’ attitude towards technology has a great impact on their instructional practices. This research contributes to understanding the psychology of learning in the context of technology-based assessments in schools, highlighting the benefits and challenges associated with their use.
