The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards has announced beginning in 2013, that all candidates will be submitting materials using their ePortfolio system. National Board has also announced all scoring for National Board will be entirely computer based, via electronic submission (ePortfolio). The transition from paper-based to electronic scoring will result in many benefits, like real-time data analysis, the ability to review materials regardless of location, no material handling of candidate portfolios, and enhanced security in storing candidate submissions.
