This page introduces findings from Meg Goodine's examination of numerous case studies in comparison with broader post-secondary electronic portfolio research.

from blog page corresponding to "a similar site... [created with] a dedicated, open source eportfolio application" (Eportfolios: Introduction, ¶1, 2010.01.05; retrieved 2010.06.07).
