المستخلص: This paper describes the way in which a course on “teaching English as a foreign language” (TEFL) methodologies, which was presented to King ABDULAZIZ students of Diploma of English Language Teaching in Elementary School. The course has been transformed into a blended learning experience by the use of an online portfolio that was hosted by Mahara.org. This e-portfolio allowed the course teacher to introduce new educational aspects of information and communications technology (ICT) to the participants and, at the same time, provided the opportunity to evaluate their experience during their usage of the Web site according to Salmon's model of blended learning. Based on the experiences from the course, this paper will discuss the students teachers’ opinions that relate to their experiences upon the use of Mahara’s e-portfolio and the development of their language and communication skills by the end of the course. The paper will try to attest that online tools, such as wikis, have actually been an inexpensive means of success. Since these portfolios are never limited by either time or any other factor, comments from teachers to students are highly enhanced. This paper concludes with the overall merits of electronic collections that are presented in the regular portfolios.
