What is it about?
The study analyzes the improvement in generic competences through e-portfolio/PLE platform. The platform Digital Folder contains utilities for students and teachers and some PLE components that help the learning process through e-portfolios. A questionnaire has been applied for measuring the use of functions and how much these functions aid in the improvement of the generic competences (reflection, planning and selection of information). The results confirm that the most helpful functions for students are: the Schedule, the Academic tasks, the Teacher’s portfolio and Dialogue with the teacher. However, the implication of these functions in the improvement of the competences depends on didactic planning overall for reflection on learning.

Perspectives
The results show that didactic planning aids for reflection on learning, so besides including PLE and e-portfolio, it is recommended to design a good course planning.
