e-Portfolio's of the Future! (Foreign Language Focus)

Created by Jeff VanDrimmelen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) on December 6, 2006

I received an e-mail from a professor (Dick Langston) on campus today informing me that their department (Germanic Languages) will be totally revamping the current curriculum. Their plan right now is to have all incoming students create a blog that they will update during their time in the department. When they leave they will then have an e-portfolio all ready to go with their thoughts as well as a nice representation of their work.

This blog entry has three purposes: 1) to write about what will definitely be included and how it will be useful; 2) to examine some possible emerging technology inclusions; and 3) to solicit thoughts from others about their experiences, both with platforms and student blogs as a whole.
