12. Results 6: Has the E-EPOSTL helped you during your teaching/ teaching practice?

13. Results 7: How has the E-EPOSTL helped you during your teaching/ teaching practice?
”It gives an opportunity to store teaching plans in one place. (…)What’s more, it requires some regularity to upload new teaching plans which makes you a better-organized teacher”
”E-EPOSTL gives me an idea about what I need to do and where I am as a teacher.”
”I started reflecting on my work regularly. EPOSTL has given me the time to stop and think about self-assessment and autonomy I have and I try to implement in my teaching practices.”

14. Results 8: How has the E-EPOSTL helped you during your teaching/ teaching practice?
”It demonstrates my skills and knowledge, and provides evidence of my successful teaching practices. I also like the dossier part when I can collect valuable materials for my future work.”
”I looked much more carefully at my lesson plans and the materials that I created myself.”

15. Results 9: How has the E-EPOSTL helped you during your teaching/ teaching practice?
„No, because: the scale is so wide that even if I had made a progress from 40% to 50% it feels like nothing and sometimes I don’t even feel the need to mark my process if it wasn’t more than 10%.”
„Not really. It drew my attention to some important aspects of teaching but I wasn’t able to incorporate them as I haven’t got much power in the school I teach in.”

16. Conclusions
In general, the participants positively evaluated the usefulness of E-EPOSTL.
The technical problems have discouraged participants from using E-EPOSTL.
The students lack motivation to regularly update portfolio.
