A very recent publication that studies ePortfolio use in Higher Education. Although it is written as a guide for college instructors, consideration/adaptation of the lessons learned should be considered for middle and high school. Amazon Book Description: "E-portfolios perform many functions in higher education at both an institutional and student level. This book offers online instructors guidance in creating and implementing e-portfolios with their students. It helps them assess the needs of their students then design and implement a strategic, comprehensive e-portfolio program tailored to these needs. Further, it lets instructors see how such programs can be used as an example of their own personal and professional academic development. This is an essential resource for any online instructor or student wishing to use e-portfolios as a tool."

AAEEBL (The Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning) is a leader in the ePortfolio community. They developed a webinar series and invited different companies to present their platforms. All webinars are archived and available for review. "This webinar series came about," explained Stanford's Helen Chen of EPAC, "because no matter how much we emphasize that the teaching and learning with eportfolios is a priority over the technology, questions always arise about eportfolio platforms. Therefore, we thought it would be a good service to the eportfolio community to offer this webinar series and to address specific issues that arise in relation to the technologies of eportfolios."
