However, many institutions (mainly HE) have abused the e-Portfolio concept and have misappropriated it as the content delivery tool and also an assessment tool rather than the VLE.<BR/><BR/>A good e-Portfolio system should be capable of enabling the collaborative aspects of multi-grouping that you describe and yet link to the VLE as and when required. There is no reason why the e-Portfolio cannot include e-safe web2.0 tools within it.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, most of the popular e-Portfolios presented to HE students do not have the multi-audience capablitiies nor the chameleon-like ability to appear differently to these differing audiences.<BR/><BR/>No, I think that the VLEs have much to offer, particularly if they include PLEs with all their complex diagnostics etc. As I have often said, <I>"Let the VLE do what it can best do, and let the e-Portfolio do that which it is best at doing."</I><BR/><BR/>see: http://efoliointheuk.blogspot.com/Ray Tolleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654892229937491921noreply@blogger.com
