dotFOLIO [www.dotfolio.org]

A portfolio system, designed to work with dotLRN, has been developed by Nick Carroll of the University of Sydney. This weekend the demo site (www.dotfolio.org) was launched.

We have been getting a tremendous number of inquiries about portfolio systems and Solution Grove has already begun testing and development on dotFOLIO for a project funded by the State of Connecticut.

What is dotFOLIO?

The goal of the dotFOLIO project is to develop an open source e-portfolio application for the purpose of supporting personal learning and development. dotFOLIO can be used to construct a thoughtful collection of work and experience that leads to a desired outcome or educational goal. dotFOLIO will provide the functionality for this, as well as allow learners to preserve more knowledge over time and to forge richer connections between their academic and work endeavors.

dotFOLIO differs to other ePortfolio applications in that each ePortfolio owner is issued a 'subsite' to use as their own personal Web space. This translates to a flexible environment for the creation and presentation of e-portfolios. The advantage of a personal Web space is to give the e-portfolio owner the freedom to think differently, and to give them control over how they present themselves and their ideas to others.
