e-Portfolios

John P went to a session on ePortfolios presented by Nick Rate. The workshop focussed heavily on the rationale, process and mechanism for creating,maintaining and storing of e-portfolios. I came away with a much better understanding about setting up ePortfolios and the considerations that should be taken into account before proceeding.

Although most of the examples were primary based, the same principles would apply to secondary student e-portfolios. Our schools will probably use Utranet for this purpose although I have other options (all web based) for consideration and discussion.
