"Increased Emphasis on Digital Portfolios By 2020, students will demonstrate their creativity, skills and knowledge in ways that take advantage of the technology available to them. In particular, expect to see greater reliance on student portfolios and an expansion of the ways that the education community and employers assess students. Students will increasingly use digital portfolios to demonstrate their skills and knowledge as they apply for college and jobs. What's more, these digital portfolios will serve as platforms for collaboration and feedback from members of their communities. Looking to 2020, digital portfolios accessible from multiple devices will make it easier for students to demonstrate real-world skills and knowledge, and will serve as a stronger link to their next steps professionally and educationally. I expect changes in how we evaluate student work with a decreased dependency on transcripts and a greater emphasis on a body of work. "

I like this.....maybe we can do something similar for the Mahara community.

Example of parent letter.

Good discussion about eportfolio's in the classroom
