At my university, The University of New South Wales (UNSW), a number of faculties use ePortfolios but we don't have a common platform. I am currently investigating options. For an ePortfolio, we'd way it to cater for the different types / use cases including:
- Showcase - professional portfolios, formal portfolios, presentation portfolios, representational portfolios, career or employment portfolios
- displaying the best of
Could display the best work of an individual student across multiple courses, best of work in one course, best of across years...
- Developmental - learning portfolios, reflection portfolios, formative portfolios, working portfolios
- student driven
- showing the progress of the project
We often use blogs (Blogger, Tumblr, WordPress).
- Assessment - summative portfolios, institutional portfolios
- generally used by instructors / educators
Here are some examples from my faculty (UNSW Built Environment).
