Modern technologies, information systems, tools, methods and approaches give us new potentialities to ensure better learning outcomes. One of such systems, which are kept high on the agenda, is ePortfolios. ePortfolio systems are considered as an excellent tool to improve learners’ competence levels, critical thinking and reflection. This paper shows an approbation of reflection stimulating ePortfolio system developed by the Distance Education Study Centre, Riga Technical University. Introduced system merges a scope of technological and educational aspects to facilitate system users’ better achievements. The author underpins Living Lab research method which was used to approbate new system implementation. Experimental part of the work is proved by verification of the ePortfolio system including necessary statistical data analysis. Approbation results show that the developed algorithmic model ensures the formation and functioning of the reflection stimulating ePortfolio system which has direct positive impact on students’ competence development, achievements and learning outcomes.
