Abstract	There has been a growing interest in using an e-portfolio as an alternative method of assessment in an open distance eLearning environment. The use of an e-portfolio as another method of assessment in Environmental Education (EE) has not been sufficiently researched. The purpose of this study was to explore how the use of an e-Portfolio as an alternative method of assessment enhances preservice teachers' technological pedagogy in an environmental education module. Qualitative data was collected using interviews and document analysis. The study employed interpretive paradigm, connectivism theory, and purposive sampling. A qualitative approach was employed to analyse and identify emerging themes from the data. The qualitative findings are that the e-portfolio was significant in assessing sustainable education, enhanced the pre-service teachers' digital pedagogy. Challenges included a lack of computer skills, connectivity, support during compilation of e-portfolio, and sufficient activities to promote teachers' digital pedagogy (As Provided).
