 note = {At Miyazaki International College, a Japanese EFL-based liberal arts college, we have instituted e-Portfolios in the School of International Liberal Arts as part of a MEXT Accelerated Program (AP, 
	) grant. This presentation reports on initial implementation from the anthropological perspective of the e- Portfolio Working Group leader. In this way it provides an action-research based study. Our e-portfolio initiative aims to help students analyze and visualize evidence for active learning. E-Portfolios are considered a disruptive technology affording critical thinking as well; these practices have always been part of our college’s pedagogy. We are using open source software developed in Australia (Moodle) and New Zealand (Mahara) and used worldwide. Initially, the first-year students made Mahara e-portfolios integrated with our ten-year ongoing Moodle project; the implementation will expand to all four years in time. The PDCA (Plan-Do-Check- Act) business process management cycle is built into the AP grant project; this paper reportson oursuccesses, failures, and planned improvements.},
