About Eve
Welcome to my Introduction to ePortfolios! EPortfolios offer a way to create your own personal learning environment, as you can both store the results of your learning (research papers, assignments, etc.) and record your thoughts and reflections about your learning.
This page provides information about personal learning environments as an introduction to ePortfolios.

About the Content on This Page
To give you a better sense of where ePortfolios fit with learning, I've placed a number of resources here for you. "The Future of Learning Environments" was created by Educause. It talks about our digital world and how it affects how we learn. The video from Ken Robinson shares a new paradigm for education. "What is a PLE" is only a minute long and gives you an idea of what a PLE (Personal Learning Environment) might include. And "Welcome to my PLE" provides an excellent examlpe of an eighth grader's PLE.
I've also included links to two graphics. One is by Helen Barrett, who has studied and promoted ePorrtfolios for many years. Scott Leslie presents a graphic where he combines ideas from a collection of graphics about PLEs.
