Many instructors, curriculum designers, and administrators in higher education have embraced ePortfolios and their pedagogy as impactful tools in teaching and learning as a way to make student learning visible, promote reflective thinking, and encourage autonomous, integrative learning. Researchers have been inquiring into and investigating ePortfolio practices in music teacher education programs over the past twenty years. Recent studies also highlight and support ePortfolio practice as a way to enhance the development of professional competencies, especially when facing time constraints. Recognizing a need to address learning outcomes assessment in his own practice, the author designed and implemented an ePortfolio into a semester-long Vocal Practicum course in which music teacher education students develop proficiency in singing and the teaching of singing. This descriptive case study captures students' perceptions as they learned through a process ePortfolio, which was created using Google Sites. Data sources included an anonymous questionnaire, stimulated recall interviews, field notes, and the ePortfolios themselves, collected from 9 student participants. Analysis of these data revealed that participants felt that their ePortfolios helped to make learning visible, provided a catalyst for growth, and produced an artifact of the course to which they could refer in the future. Further analysis also revealed that students appreciated how the ePortfolio provided structure to the course, and that it helped focus them on their own learning processes instead of the end product. Notably, students experienced very few technological challenges, and they found peer assessment to be a valuable part of their learning trajectory. The ePortfolio process was also found to have supported students in demonstrating an increased awareness of phonation, resonance, airflow, and articulation-foundational aspects of singing and its pedagogy. Suggested areas for further inquiry include investigating the instructor's influence on students' positive perceptions of the ePortfolio, examining how Google Sites can be configured to support more sophisticated ePortfolio practice, introducing a reflective rubric to the Vocal Practicum ePortfolio, and considering the efficacy of expanding ePortfolio use to other practicum courses.
