The uncertainty about assessing student learning outcomes is one of the concerns frequently discussed in education during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The use of technology in assessing student learning has become a new paradigm in transforming traditional assessment to digital assessment. The E-portfolio has been one of the tools that can be used to conduct digital assessments. However, E-portfolios are still uncommon among Malaysian teachers. As a reason, the purpose of this study is to identify the challenges of integrating ICT in classroom assessment, to examine current E-portfolio implementation practises among teachers, and to investigate teachers' perceptions of E-portfolio use as a digital assessment tool in teaching and learning. This is a quantitative approach that uses a set of questionnaires distributed online. The sample for this study is composed of 97 teachers who teach Asas Sains Komputer in Terengganu. The frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation of the data were analysed using the Statistical Package For Social Science (SPSS) version 25.0. Findings show that: i) Appropriate facilities and equipment are important in implementing ICT in classroom assessment; ii) Current practice of E-portfolio among teachers is low, and iii) Teachers have positive perceptions of using E-portfolio in assessing the Asas Sains Komputer subject. Hence, it is suggested that a module, model or guidelines be developed for teachers using E-portfolios in the classroom as a reference.
