Software
Selection
Read
detailed information about seven different types of
software I discuss
in my article: relational databases, hypermedia
“card”
software, multimedia authoring software, Web pages, PDF
files, multimedia
slideshows, and video. Use this information to compare
various software
choices by recommended grade/age level, advantages and
disadvantages,
and more.

Electronic
Portfolio Development
In
creating my process for creating digital portfolios, I
drew on Danielson
and Abrutyn’s framework for portfolio development.
Read a detailed
discussion here.
Multimedia
Development Process
I
also incorporated multimedia development steps into my
digital portfolio
process. Read descriptions of the steps here.
Case Study:
A Professional Portfolio
I
describe the process I have gone through in creating my
own professional
portfolio. Find practical tips for managing your own
portfolio.
Participate
in the Research
I
would be interested in hearing from educators who have
used any
of these tools (or ones I haven’t mentioned here) and
who would
be willing to share their successes or frustrations in a
case study.
I
am currently writing a book about learning with electronic
portfolios,
and would like to include case studies from across the age
levels
(early childhood through adult, professional portfolios).
I am interested
in the technical support issues associated with each of
these strategies,
and if there are any other advantages and disadvantages I
have not
identified.
I
will be posting a questionnaire online to gather more
information
on development strategies and would like to hear from
educators
who have experience with electronic portfolios. From this
data,
I would like to build a decision matrix to help educators
determine
the best strategy for their situation.
I
maintain a Web site on technology support for alternative
assessment
and electronic portfolios at http://portfolios.alaska.edu,
and I can be reached by e-mail at afhcb@uaa.alaska.edu.
My university also hosts a listserv on this topic, and
information
on joining the discussion list is on the Web site.
Let’s continue
discussing the possibilities.
