This paper addresses some of the issues of definition, between electronic portfolios and online assessment management systems. It is difficult to conduct comparative research on electronic portfolios because of the emergence of very diverse models...

This symposium will draw together several teacher education programs implementing electronic portfolios to address some key questions around implementation. For the last two years, ISTE's PT3 Catalyst Grant has been providing training and technical...

Portfolios have been around a long time. Educators used them long before the digital age, which suggests that perhaps the new media and medium of electronic portfolios, in part, can be looked at through lenses from the past. For example, in the past,...

Two bodies of literature define the process for developing electronic teaching portfolios to support long-term professional growth: the multimedia development process (Decide/Assess, Design/Plan, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) and the portfolio...

Adobe's Portable Document Format is the ideal container for electronic portfolio reflections connected to digital artifacts. This paper describes the software environment, and then describes the process for converting digital artifacts from many...
