Really interesting blog posting by an academic about online portfolios specifically for academics. He favours the "roll your own" approach but the post raises lots of interesting questions like who 'owns' your profile and who has control over it.

Maybe interesting to see the results of this study, when it comes out. Msot of it makes intuitive sense (but then I am usually suspicious when that happens ...) I quite liked this exercise: "students are asked to trace the spread of a claim from an academic journal to less prestigious forms of media, like magazines and newspapers, in order to see how arguments are diluted. In another, students are asked to pursue the answer to a research question using only blogs, and to create a map showing how they know if certain information is trustworthy or not."
