Abstract

Seeing portfolios as inherently hypertextual, this article outlines three forms of electronic portfolio: one based on a student's work, one based on a class project about a specific topic, and one based on a class seminar on a broad topic. Following this presentation comes a discussion of a number of problems with electronic portfolios: the logistical problems of management, access, and cross-referencing; the technical problems of input, access, and copying; and the theoretical issues of the lack of realia, of ownership and copyright, and of participation on an equitable manner.
