I like the box of stuff in the cellar metaphor, even though here in S California cellars or basements, (am I revealing my roots?) are non existent. The caveat I see is that by the time I've put something in the basement, I've essentially moved on from it. I think D'arcy's approach is moving in the right direction and as he's suggested, most people aren't yet thinking out of the box, (ooops no pun intented :)) enough. Might this be another example of the paradigmatic cleft between immigrants and the native? Between our capacity to expand our mental models? What if undergraduates started building their presence (via MySpace, Delicious, etc) from the moment they entered the university. What about an expanded Mr Potato as a metaphor?

The main issue is that students need for their work to automagically be put into their boxes of stuff. If you don't want to call that box a "repository", that's OK with me. "Box" works too. We should definitely take care to avoid overcomplicating. I did end up using the dreaded word in my response to your comment on my post, but I agree that it needs to be lightweight.

portable folio = stuff from your big box tagged with “portfolio”

easier said than done, though – most people I’ve been working with want an “ePortfolio” that is more like a presentation than a live aggregate document…
