- This type of eportfolio is created at the end of a program to highlight the
  quality of student work
- Most eportfolios are hybrids of the three types
- "A portfolio without standards, goals and/or reflection is just a fancy résumé,
  not an electronic portfolio"

eportfolio education e-portfolio research

The learner builds and maintains a digital repository of artifacts, which they
can use to demonstrate competence and reflect on their learning
Portfolios are driven by the intended task: assessment, professional/personal
development, learning portfolio, or group portfolio

- Regardless of the format selected, each eportfolio effort should encourage
  learners to develop the skills to continue building their own personal portfolio
  as a life-long learning tool.
- A portfolio permits the learner to display competence, outside of a static
  transcript. The richness of an individual’s learning can be portrayed through
  multiple media. For example, using an actual website to communicate web
  development skills is far more effective than simply listing a certificate on a
  resume.
- An ideal eportfolio system should allow flexible input (each
  item can carry its own metadata and be treated as a unique object),
  organization (objects/artifacts can be hierarchically organized
  in folders), retrieval (objects can be searched based on
  eportfolio owner’s specifications), and display (items can be
  grouped and permission granted to intended audience).
- Eportfolio software:
  - “The Open Source
  Portfolio Initiative (OSPI) is a community of individuals and organizations
  collaborating on the development of the leading non-proprietary, open source
  electronic portfolio software available.”
  - “Elgg is a fully featured electronic portfolio,
  weblog and social networking system, connecting learners and creating
  communities of learning”
- With eportfolios, a similar concern exists. Eportfolios will be successful if
  the urge to excessively standardize is resisted. Simple technologies like RSS
  and SOAP reveal that content can be shared when interoperability is
  built into the sharing structure, not the content itself.
- One of the most critical aspects of successful eportfolio use is the creation of
  neutral eportfolio providers. The institution should not be in control of the
  portfolio. As a personal life-learning tool, there is no place for
  organizational control. The current lack of portfolio software providers is
  being addressed through Elgg and OSPI. Institutions should direct their learners
  to approved eportfolio providers. Then, as learners move onto other
  institutions, the learners themselves retain control over their own portfolios.
  This is a central principle that must not be compromised in order for portfolios
  to function as personal learning representation tools.
- Like any web resource, eportfolios are subject to security and privacy risks.
- Who has ultimate control – the learner or institution?
- To be effective, the concept needs to be embedded into the process of
  instruction and assessment
- Learners are introduced to the concept, and instructed on how to use the system
  (both from a technical and from a “how will this help you” perspective)
- The curriculum has been designed to require learners to use the portfolio in
  completing their course work and assignments
- The portfolio is used for assessment of learning objectives. Instructor feedback
  can be integrated back into the portfolio and treated as an artifact.
- An eportfolio culture (Gathercoal, Love,
  Bryde, and McKean, 2002) exists,
- Time is allotted for portfolio development
- However, the value of portfolios is largely lost when learners discontinue
  using them at graduation of course/program conclusion
