This article (27 page PDF) investigates "the integration of a UDL approach into a brand management module using an ePortfolio, from a student perspective." It looks specifically at "multiple means of engagement and multiple means of action and expression." Not surprisingly, "92% of students had never heard of UDL before and only 2% agreed that they had some knowledge of ePortfolio" but the majority said "they would like a choice in the way they would be assessed." Different modes (text, audio, video, photos) were selected to complete each of four 'portfolio tasks'. I'm not sure this is exactly the way e-portfolios are supposed to be used - they're not simply an assignment drop-box, as appears to be the case here. But still, it's useful to enable students to use a number of different modalities in their submissions.
