I think we should differentiate between:
- ePortfolios — that are documents, full stop
- ePorfolio authoring systems — the tools used by the author
- ePortfolio management systems — that are tools used by
institutions
|
let’s take the discussion about “assessment ePortfolios” that some claim alter
the “true nature” of ePortfolios — and I’m always a bit wary when
people refer to the “true nature” of man made things! One one side, there would
be the “good portfolio,” that belongs entirely to the individual, who manages it
from start to finish (until death do us part) and, on the other side, the “evil
portfolio”, owned by the institution who uses it as support to the grading
system. What I claim is that this is like comparing pears and a stove then claim
that all stoves are evil as they can be used to transform pears into “Poire
Belle Hélène” — I agree that chocolate can be evil!
