This article describes and analyses a small scale qualitative research project which explores teachers' and parents' perspectives on whether e-portfolio software can support and enhance collaborative partnerships between teachers, children, parents and whanau (families) in an early childhood setting in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Two of the key themes that were identified through thematic analysis are (1) communication: a key characteristic of collaborative partnerships, and (2) e-portfolios as a tool to enhance partnerships. These themes respond directly to the research questions and notwithstanding, all participants agreed that e-portfolios have made a positive contribution to collaborative parent-teacher partnerships in the context of this setting. Implications for practice, limitations and recommendations for future research are suggested.
