What it is
Hands-on testing and research to better understand how e-portfolios can benefit MSU
Collaborative prototyping of MSU-specific e-portfolio tools and templates
Toward a production LC&T centrally-supported e-portfolio system targeted for Fall, 2007.
Who’s doing it
Under the auspices of ANGEL Advisory Group
Joint ACNS-VUDAT-Libraries-AIS development team
Jim Green, ACNS, project leader
Recent accomplishments
OSP (Open Source Portfolio, http://osportfolio.org) selected
Testbed implementation up and running since late April.
Project team working on setup, configuration, integration
Recruit faculty and grad students to participate and provide feedback
OSP
Open source software not mature
Built on Sakai (open source CMS) framework
MSU will implement portfolio functions only ANGEL will continue to be MSU’s centrally-
supported CMS for the foreseeable future
basic e-portfolio
Person-centric rather than course-centric system will not include course enrollment data
Will persist after the person leaves MSU User owns her/his portfolios and artifacts
there is debate on this
User controls access to their portfolios
