Team-Based Learning (TBL) is an active, learner-centred methodology whose popularity is growing in higher education. It is structured around a combination of autonomous study, individual and group assessment, and teamwork. Splitting students in teams promotes responsibility, interaction, and mutual feedback; however, assessing individual contribution to team success can be problematic. In academic year 2023/2024, an experimental course of TBL took place at the University of Foggia; here, TBL has been combined with the use of e-portfolio as part of summative assessment, with the aim of promoting and documenting student reflection both towards the activities and the learning process. This contribution investigates both student perceptions and learning achievements, discussing the potential of e-portfolio as a part of the TBL methodology.

Keywords: e-portfolio, TBL, assessment, active learning, higher education.
