Stage 1 - Deciding Purpose, Audience and Goals |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this section, I describe the first stage of developing an electronic portfolio: deciding on the purpose, audience and goals.

There are many software packages that you can use to develop and publish electronic portfolios. This section provides an overview of the options available.

This PDF file provides some guidance for selecting common software tools to develop electronic portfolios. A shorter version of this article was published in Learning & Leading with Technology in April 2000.

Stage 2 - The Working Portfolio |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The second stage of creating an electronic portfolio is to create the Working Portfolio or to build a digital archive of your work. This stage involves two tasks: digitizing work and finding an appropriate storage medium.

The second stage of developing the electronic portfolio is COLLECTION, involving two tasks: digitizing the artifacts and setting up a storage system for easy retrieval.
Look under the Technology section of this exhibit for some ideas and Guides for digitizing artifacts and options for storage.

Stage 3 - The Reflective Portfolio |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reflection turns a collection of artifacts into a portfolio. This process happens at two points in time: reflection on the individual artifacts in the portfolio (we call those the "captions"), and then reflections on how we think we have achieved our outcomes, goals, or standards.

The third stage in developing the electronic portfolio is SELECTION and REFLECTION. The questions to guide this reflection are:
What?
So What?
Now What?
Look at the Reflection section in this exhibit for more in-depth reading on reflection with some examples of electronic portfolios.

Stage 4 - The Connected Portfolio |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this stage of the process, you tie all the pieces together with hyperlinks and add multimedia and other design features to the portfolio. This stage of the process allows you to showcase your individuality and creativity. Adding a digital storytelling artifact can provide a powerful way to make your own connections in your work and to reflect on the growth that should be evident in your portfolio.

The next stage of the portfolio development process is CONNECTION, linking the portfolio to the reflections and the artifacts that were selected in the last stage. Also included in this document are some details about videotaping in the classroom.
Look under the Technology section of this exhibit for some ideas and Guides for creating hyperlinked electronic portfolios using common software tools.

Stage 5 - The Presentation Portfolio |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
When you are ready to share your portfolio, you will want to publish it, choosing from a variety of formats.

The final stage in the portfolio development process is CELEBRATION (before an audience, either real or virtual) and PUBLICATION. There are many ways that electronic portfolios can be published, including CD-ROM, a WWW server, videotape, and DVD. Look under the Technology section of this exhibit for some ideas and Guides for publishing electronic portfolios.
