YavelfolioObservations and benefits: Students interact across courses Feedback is directly linked to artifacts allowing users torecall assessments Privacy features allow for custom sharing Separate from informal social networks (Facebook, etc.)allowing for more academic discourse Classroom LMS and ePortfolios combined into onesystem rather than using multiple platforms 21. YavelfolioChallenges: Language Engagement Students dont want to do it once they leave the physicalclassroom Needs to expand with more faculty involvement to allowportfolios to evolve and networks to grow over time Open Source Environment SPAM Getting users to engage in the platform with the understandingof the advantages of ePortfolios ePortfolios need to be integrated into the broader curriculum withbroader formative and cumulating in a summative review process. 22. Future Research andDevelopment Extend use to be inclusive or more faculty, broader subjectareas and longitudinal tracking Assess growth and depth of cognitive reflection Incorporate rubrics and other assessment strategies Interview the outliers or those who dont participate in thesurvey Multi-version editing Clean development for better integration and customization oftools Allowing both private formative portfolio and publicallysharable summative portfolios 23.
