Which description best defines Learner Portfolios?

• A. Internal Deadlines for Assessment Preparation.
• B. Annual Reporting of Qualification Results.
• C. Collections of Evidence Maintained by Assessment Centres.
• D. Judgments Made Regarding Learner Performance.

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is what a Learner Portfolio is in an assessment context. A Learner Portfolio is a collection of evidence that shows a learner’s progress and attainment over time, and it is maintained by assessment centres to provide a consolidated record of work, tasks, feedback, and reflections.

This description fits best because it emphasizes evidence accumulated across learning experiences and kept by the centre, rather than just a single test result or a schedule. The other options describe administrative or evaluative aspects—internal deadlines are about scheduling, annual reporting is about summarising results, and judgments about performance relate to final outcomes rather than the portfolio as a stored collection of evidence.
