Via Helen Barret comes this article describing "the implementation of a university-wide electronic portfolio requirement" at Clemson. The authors caution (correctly), "We remain committed to our original goal of ePortfolio as a learning tool. As Shulman (1998) reminds us: portfolio building is a theoretical act in which developers decide what is worth documenting and worth reflecting on. Unless we implement ePortfolios in this way there is great risk of the students viewing their ePortfolios as yet one more assignment that needs to be completed prior to graduation."
