Carnegie’s KEEP Tool Kit

I was talking with Tracy Penny-Light, from UWaterloo, yesterday about the e-Portfolio pilot running there. Students in accounting & finance and in history are creating e-Portfolios this term. They are using Carnegie’s KEEP Tool Kit to build their e-Portfolios. I don’t know much about this tool yet, I’ve just created an account and will explore. It is a hosted product and looks very easy to use. I’ll post more info after Alison & I have had a chance to play with it. In the meantime, here’s a short description of the software and a link to the site. Go ahead and create your own account!

***CARNEGIE TOOL KIT The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching’s Knowledge Media Lab has developed a new tool to help educators document and share their work and knowledge online. The KEEP (Knowledge, Exchange, Exhibit and Presentation) tool kit offers teachers and students an easy way to organize and display their work on the Web, including multimedia displays. The resource leads educators and students through the selection process for display materials. Using specially designed templates, the KEEP tool kit also allows presenters to reflect and comment on each item included in the online display. It is available at “www.carnegiefoundation.org/KML/keep/”:http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/KML/keep/. ***
