Organize your ePortfolio
What is ePortfolio?
• A portfolio is a purposeful and selective
collection of the student work showing
reflection and progress of achievement
over time (Montgomery, 2001).
• Captures what traditional assessment
methods (multiple choice questions)
cannot capture.
eFolio Minnesota offers everyone the
opportunity to create an ePortfolio
• Vision: Every resident of Minnesota use
eFolio to reach their education and
career goals.
• Purpose: To “create a living showcase of
their education, career, and personal
achievements”
• The most comprehensive ePortfolio
implementation in the United States:
Over 70,000 initial users across the state
of Minnesota.
• Serves all Minnesota residents

eLearning Model with ePortfolio
• Have the learner organize and document the
evidence of learning in a highly vivid and
elaborative fashion.
• Scaffold the processes of self-reflection, selfassessment, self-regulated planning and
learning.
• Help individual students or groups maximize
their learning potential.

It’s not about just moving
ePortfolio to mobile devices…

Anything traditional
universities can learn from
these public proprietary
universities?
From everything you heard in the
presentation, what seems most promising to
have influence on the future learning model?
Summary
Programmable Open Mobile Internet – the future
Pocketschool - address some of the educational access issues
Mobile economy – it has become easier to be an entrepreneur
Next ePortfolio system – large scale competency database
GLORIAD – making more things possible online
Proprietary universities - giving a second chance
Thank you.
