League Bloggin': Land of 10,000 E-Folios

Just a quick recap of this League Conference session, "Minnesota: Land of 10,000 E-Folios" by Paul Wasko of eFolio Minnesota the project providing electronic portfolios to all citizens of the state. This was a hands on session that allowed us as participants to create use the tools available in this software.

It actually is very easy to use, and offers quite a number of control and flexibility. It has a decent set of templates (using style sheets) and easy, consistent enditing tools. From the editing interface, you can always toggle to a preview mode to see the work.

I was impressed as far as it meets some of the flexibilty and ease of use issues our faculty have voiced for electronic portfolios. It offers level of access the owner can set for different users and group (restricting access to very specific sections of a portfolio). It doe snot seem to have the ability to have "official" pieces of work added by the institution, so the portfolio content is all user selected.

Interesting feature is the ability to create a custom survey/poll that the owner can collect information/feedback from their visitors.

I am not sure how long they will keep active the junk I made, but you can find it at:

Need to learn more about the Avenet software that runs this.
