From the folks at the University of Denver Portfolio Community:

The University of Denver Portfolio Community is a comprehensive electronic portfolio system that supports individual, course, and community portfolios and curriculum assessment. This session will discuss the DUPC’s development and lessons learned during its implementation and compare it to other electronic portfolio systems..

Began work in mid 1990s in school of communication. No commercial products then, so they did a home grown system.

Note to presenters- Nearly all presentations wade through word slides of background info, etc before getting to a rushed and hurried demo. Always start with the demo, give us a visual. grab our attention…. then wade through the bullet points.
