Hi Matthew,

Here's a short list of resources for individual and institutional
electronic portfolios:

http://wordsworth2.net/webfolio/resource.htm .

I recommend you follow the first link to American Association of Higher
Education for detailed additional resources.

I've been using reflective webfolios in individual classes for a decade,
and you're welcome to email me.

Regards,
Donna

Colleagues,

I am writing to ask if any of those on the Humanist list either uses or
knows of those using electronic portfolios in the Humanities?
Electronic portfolios are a teaching and professional tool used in many
K-12 systems and on some college campuses. I am particularly interested
in such portfolios as used by/for graduate students and by faculty.

Thanks.

-Matthew

I suspect this is one of the terms from elearning that is going to be as
problematic and ill defined as 'learning objects'.

In the Media program that I'm involved in we now provide a blog for every
student, they are required to use them. They are also taught very basic
HTML and so the proposal/aim/hope is that by the end of their undergraduate
experience they will have an online portfolio of their work. this will
include video production, sound production, and academic hypermedia essays.
We have only just begun this, but this content will be maintained online so
that it is a portfolio of their work which can be used for assessment,
promotion (of our course and of their individual abilities), and as a
resource for other student cohorts.

The blogs are to document their practice, and for whatever else they wish
(for eg one student has initiated a 'sad' photograph series). These are e
portfolios (in my book) but apparently not what most in the EdMedia
community think of as e portfolios.

cheers
Adrian Miles
