There is some evidence from recent research that children (whether we
like it or not) are ignoring commercial products for creating
e-portfolios and are using facilities that are more readily and freely
available (google docs etc). It is also being shown that they move their
data easily from platform to platform. I suspect that they have left
behind some of our quaint ideas. It is also suggested however, that the
work that needs to be done is with issues relating to plagiarism,
ownership, attribution, knowledge production etc.

By that argument should we still be using separate and incompatible
applications? We should still be following the advice of the 'early
adopters' and using BBC 'B's, Betamax and Multiplan. No, we have moved
on - we currently have good applications that perform in a multitude of
ways and over a wide variety of operating systems and devices: a
wordprocessor that has interactive spreadsheet functions, hyperlinks
from the Contents list, embedded video or MP3 links, the ability to
export this note as a .pdf file or send this wordprocessed document as
an e-mail or to read on my iPhone. And that is how I see the
e-Portfolio being used. Yes we might still use a range of specialist
tools as 'add-ons' but the resultant artefacts can be stored in one
logical place.
=20
There is, of course, another danger, that of thinking of an e-Portfolio
as a brand of social networking. Many of the American institutions in
particular and HE in this country seem to have this same myopic view of
the e-Portfolio and use open blogs or wikis as their so-called
'e-Portfolio'. No! Even before we start thinking about social
networking, the e-Portfolio is primarily a tool for Learning, for self
organisation and representation, for reflection, for planning, for
formative assessment by mentors and presentation to a selected and
controlled audience.
=20
But my real complaint is about the defence for the status quo, 'have
numerous accounts on different applications.' Why be overruled by
outmoded technologies? I ask. Why not contain all of one's assets in
one place where they can be more easily managed, where they can be
uploaded, modified or withdrawn without the risk of outdated artefacts
being left forgotten in the ether?
=20
However, actually, I agree with Ian's conclusion: It's all about
learning not administration, procurement frameworks and other
bureaucratic systems. Until teachers have the freedom to teach, to
explore and develop their own teaching styles and to innovate, I doubt
that we will ever be able to motivate and inspire our youngsters as we
would wish.=20

Andrew stated: Rather than having one eportfolio, a student or a
child may find themselves creating a variety of eportfolios for
different purposes. I don't see any problem with this.
Hum, I do. (see link:=20
http://efoliointheuk.blogspot.com/2009/10/how-many-different-e-portfolio
s.html ) Why have separate e-Portfolios for different purposes when
the one e-Portfolio can present different 'views' to different
audiences?=20
Because the real world simply doesn't work like that. Most of the early
adopters of social networking sites (and e-portfolios are just a
particular specialist example of this type of content) have numerous
accounts on different applications. I think we can get too hung up on
the term e-portfolio like with IWBs. What we are talking about is a
flexible use of on-line information through which learning can take
place and for which the user can create a subset of their activities to
display to interested parties. To do that a savvy person could use
generic tools freely available on the web now. The deficiency is not in
web tools and technologies, its deficiency in the skills to use what is
there and the experience to work in a different way. Its all about
learning not administration, procurement frameworks and other
bureaucratic systems. Until that is grasped I don't hold out much hope
and there is no quick fix. It requires people to have the motivation to
change the way they work. It will happen eventually, the question is to
what extent it can be sped up? Unfortunately, a lot of the money aimed
at trying to do that seems to be actually doing the reverse.

Because the real world simply doesn't work like that. Most of the early
adopters of social networking sites (and e-portfolios are just a =
particular
specialist example of this type of content) have numerous accounts on =
different
applications. I think we can get too hung up on the term =
e-portfolio like
with IWBs. What we are talking about is a flexible use of on-line =
information
through which learning can take place and for which the user can create =
a
subset of their activities to display to interested parties. To do that =
a savvy
person could use generic tools freely available on the web now. The =
deficiency
is not in web tools and technologies, its deficiency in the skills to =
use what
is there and the experience to work in a different way. Its all about =
learning
not administration, procurement frameworks and other bureaucratic =
systems.
Until that is grasped I don't hold out much hope and there is no quick =
fix. It
requires people to have the motivation to change the way they work. It =
will
happen eventually, the question is to what extent it can be sped up?
Unfortunately, a lot of the money aimed at trying to do that seems to be
actually doing the reverse.<br>
