message: Reviewing the Electronic Portfolio entry, I belive that it might be improved in seveal ways.
First, some decision needs to be made about re-factoring some portfolio definitions out of this entry, in favor of the portfolio (education) entry and second, a broader recognition of the current landscape of tools to implement an electronic portfolio should be examined.
Refactoring.  The three main types of ePorfolios described are really types of portfolios and probably should be addressed on that page. (I personally would describe these types of portfolios more in terms of three actions by portfolio authors (collect, select, reflect). What might usefully be retained would be a discussion of how electronic portfolios enable or augment each of the three types. I'm thinking for example of a mentor commenting on reflections, or of peer critique.
An idea that helps distinquish a portfolio from an electronic impelmentation of a portfolio is the latter can separate two functions: repository and presentation. (Perhaps it would be useful to recognize that several of the functions of an electronic portfolio map directly to content management systems.) Individual portfolio artifacts can be collected in the repository and then presented, singly or multiply in one or more different presentations for different audiences. This flexibilty is one of the distinguishing features of the electronic implementation.
Landscape of tools. The implication of the article is that there are a few standards-based eportfolio applications. That is true, there are, to varying degrees, standards, and also by degrees, software applications that implement them.  However, the emphasis on standards and iteroperability is only one dimension of the landscape to consider. There are other tools that have 'emergent' portfolio properties, and bear mention in this article. An example would be a "blog." While weak as a content managment system, blogs have the property of being highly connected via Ping/Trackback such that the communication about the elements in the blog-portfolio is facilitated. Wiki can also serve as a portfolio, consider the "my contributions" feature of MediaWiki. What is interesting in both the blog and wiki examples is that the portfolio artifacts (and largely the presentation) are being created as a by-products of ongoing work in a tool.

thread_title:  Suggestions for a major revision 

message: It should be written from a more neutral point of view--the section should focus on intended utility and not sound like a sales pitch.  It could even be deleted, since it is adequately described in other sections.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.200.142.130 (talk) 14:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Usage Section is too Promotional--not Neutral 

message: This portfolio is pointless. I feel that we the students dont need to show what we learned 3 times every year. We all ready do the mid-terms and the final exams, so why should we have to make a profolio showing the work we did in class. It's like makeing a folder to show your parents what you learned in school today. I for one think this is possably the dumbest idea ever thought up, its right up there with the war in Iraq and the Articles of Confederation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 158.123.138.50 (talk) 15:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why should we do this 

message: At the risk of tipping more worms from the can, someone needs to take a grip of this article and prune, if not cull, the current lists (plural!) of external links. I'm minded to support the original comment that most of these should simply be removed unless they can be shown to directly support the text of the article. However, I am nowhere near expert enough in the field to do so. I'm just very aware that I have removed links to www.e-portfolios.net from other pages because they were clearly just advertising, yet if I do so here, then it seems that I ought to wipe out several others - something which has clearly been attempted in the past.
Could perhaps some of those of you with interest/knowledge in the field try to come to some sort of consensus on this - or at the least a consensus on how to organise the many sections of links that currently exist in the article under 'See Also', EL & related events is franky embarrassingly laughable!
