What do all these portfolios have in common?
Shane Sutherland’s Professional Portfolio
They’re all about me!
…because (amongst other reasons) the technology used to create portfolio presentations is too
powerful and useful to be constrained by a single use
…and that’s a problem
(Presentational) Portfolios fall into two main categories and (at least) eight sub-categories:
Me-Portfolios Personal Professional Promotional
T-Portfolios (task portfolios) Process Project Placement Production Pedagogical.

Tend… to focus on an activity
How do task-portfolios benefit me-portfolios?
Some example task-portfolios…
there is a limitation with an approach like this…
What you need is a new kind of portfolio framework…
• Where the structure is enabling, not constraining…
• Where users receive support on how to complete the tasks…
• Where context frames content and users demonstrate their learning guided by this…
• Where tasks can be incremental and timely (and mistakes are rectifiable)

Add new content over time
So, what are we actually talking about?• ePortfolios as infinitely personalisable,
task-based, micro learning packages…• * Developed over time• Enhanced by evidence, thoughts, ideas,
responses and reflections from the user…• * Enhanced over time• Enriched by comments, feedback,
contributions and ideas from others…• * Enriched over time• Takeaway-able, re-useable, and the
richest possible evidence for my me-portfolio(s)
