The use of Web 2.0 tools and services is attracting considerable attention of the e-learning community at the secondary and higher education levels. This paper focuses on the creation of students’ artifacts with various Web 2.0 tools (e.g. those for online creation of mind maps, block-diagrams, slideshow presentations, online comic strips, surveys, etc.) for assessment purposes and peer-to-peer learning.

This paper explores Critical Success Factors(CSFs) for successful implementation of the next generation of ePortfolio systems in academic institutions. CSFs are revised, based on the current ePortfolio literature, and updated based on our exploratory field research. In addition, relationship between CSFs and maturity levels is identified and discussed.
