Personal Web Space as Software Solution
Novak pointed me towards this article published on the Educause website:
“Beyond the Electronic Portfolio: A Lifetime Personal Web Space
This article may be old news to most of you (originally published in 2004), but it was new to me. I like the concept of personal webspace as the engine behind the e-portfolio. The authors also mention Vannevar Bush’s classic article “As We May Think” and his concept of the memex to extend an individual’s active memory. Interesting food for thought.
Here at UBC we could consider extending a personal webspace model to students. Students could store all their relevant academic, workplace and personal documents/artifacts there and choose which ones to pull into different contexts (e-portfolio, resume, online course, personal website). Do you think this would work?
