What is the ePortfolio Project?
The ePortfolio software project is also an open source development project that IU is developing with other partners including the Open Source Portfolio Initiative (www.theospi.org), with the support of a $518,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. EPortfolios represent a new teaching and learning application for Indiana University that will be linked to Oncourse. Portfolios allow students to create a personal, digital collection of assignments, documents, videos, etc. that help demonstrate a portfolio of learning achievement (similar to an artists portfolio).The portfolio can be used by instructors, potential employers, and the students themselves to assess their progress.
