Working (on) Electronic Portfolios: Connections between Work and Study - Carl Whithaus and Mary Beth Lakin, Kairos
This web essay describes and reflects on a two-year developmental project of integrating Open Source Portfolio (OSP) software in a distance learning, interdisciplinary studies program focusing on Work and Professional Studies (WPS). The process of creating the eportfolio in Blackboard, videoconferences, and WPS Eportfolios encouraged the students to articulate connections among different skill areas and tasks. The process of collecting, selecting, and reflecting on their eportfolios helped students realize that no matter what workplace setting they were in, they owned their knowledge and skills.
