Stories & Tapestries & e-Portfolios

Jonathon Richter (Montana State University, Northern) posted a notice to the EPAC list about the MIT4: The Work of Stories Conference (May 2005). He suggests a connection between the topic of this conference and e-portfolios…

bq.. For those of us interested in using E-portfolios not simply as assessment tools OF learning, but for use as assessment tools FOR learning (thanks, Helen Barrett :), storytelling is a wonderful way to get people of all ages and walks to integrate their personal experience as well as bump against that “zone of proximal development” – hey, every good story has a conflict in it!

A cogent paper on E-folios, as living growing hyperlinked stories, could be a powerful addition to this very interesting (looking) conference.
