Hi...here is additional information re: getting portfolios online...One of our faculty members at Stockton suggested the following:

If you are creating your own format from a simple blog, you can just ask students to create a portfolio on blogger.  Blogger and other sites provide blogs free of use with a bit of side advertising.

Another way is to check out software especially designed for serving on-line e-portfolios.  rSmart is a software company that has taken "open portfolio software" and made some good changes.  rSmart will sell their product to institutions, and it will allow students to create e-portfolios on-line in an environment specifically tailored to e-porfolios.

Stockton's version of this is supposed to be up and running in the fall.

You can find info about rSmart at

Also interesting.... Helen Barrett presents her ideas re:the potential of using a variety of Web2.0 applications to build e-portfolios:  blogs, wikis, photo blogs (like Flickr), podcasts, RSS feeds, social bookmarking (del.icio.us) on this site:

Barrett writes about the current research she is doing in the use of technology with pedagogy -- she presents creative ways of incorporating technology within the classroom setting K-through higher education.
