One of these techniques is based on Portfolios that, in early childhood education, allows the understanding of the progress of the child, allowing a shared reflection with the child, teachers, and the child’s parents towards the understanding on the child’s learning process. The work described in this paper has as its main objective the development of a web application, which allows support for the construction of a platform for the storage and sharing of digital portfolios for early childhood education. In addition, it is intended that an access control of users be made so that it is possible to manage access to certain portfolios or sub-parts of them. The system has features such as: creating portfolios, creating notes, and managing user permissions. After the application was implemented, usability tests were carried out, with the participation of teachers. Through the techniques and methodologies used, it was possible to create a web tool to aid in the creation of portfolios for early childhood education, allowing the registering of audio, video, or image files. In addition, the system allows the sharing of portfolios with different users of the system who, in turn, can perform actions in the portfolio according to their role in the system.engPortfolioObservationInterfaceWeb developmentEarly childhood educationconference paper10.5220/0011051200003182
