The time used for the installation of the digital portfolio was one year applied in 3 academic cycles with a sample of 205 students. Obtaining that in the beginning the digital portfolio could not surpass the physical portfolio this was found taking as reference the qualifications of the students, modifications were made to the digital portfolio and the results improved favorably reaching an 86.7% of the students' acceptance measured in its ratings, surpassing the physical portfolio that only reached 78%. The flexibility of the digital portfolio gives the option for students to use all the information available in different digital formats, collaborating in the learning process, stimulating the capacity for analysis and critical thinking, becoming one of the greatest strengths of this evaluation strategy.
