Portfolios can be prepared for a variety of purposes and in a variety of ways. Pre-service students can use portfolios to publish their artifacts and reflections in a developmental way or to meet state criteria. Teacher's in practice can create portfolios for licensure and recertification purposes.
Files can be included in a number of ways. You can include them as links as in this model, or link them to a reflection in an adjacent field as pictured in the above cell. Teachers and Faculty can also construct portfolios that meet any criteria. Below is a model of how a faculty member might seek feedback from their colleagues as they are building their portfolios to meet college criteria. At any time a portfolio from a working template can be saved for publication on a public website.
