Abstract: Today's learners are more realistic and spend most of their learning time exploring information technologies like eLearning, video-assisted learning, blockchain technology for MOOCs, artificial intelligence (AI), learning analytics, gamification, immersive learning with VR and AR, STEAM-based programmes, social media, and others to generate novice ideas. This research paper analyses the efficacy of e-portfolios to involve engineering students of BTech first year in setting, organising, comprehending, evaluating, and analysing academic writing skills through information and communication technology (ICT). The English language and communication skills lab uses a quantitative experimental research strategy that emphasises questionnaires and e-portfolios to improve participants' writing skills (ELCS). This project studies using JNTU-related e-portfolios to create intrinsically motivating creative competency in students. E-portfolios are easily accessible and allow students to provide multimedia proof, say the researchers. Instead of writing about their accomplishments, students can submit photographs, videos, and audio recordings. This speeds up and enhances learning. Many engineering students enhanced their persuasive writing using e-portfolios.

Keywords: e-portfolios; ELCS Lab; information and communication technologies; ICTs; writing skills; engineering learners.
