Is student work easily organized by date, course or some other category?
-
Organization is key because if they can't find what they've put up it's pointless

Gradually, we begin to add drawings and use other media to show our learning, such as video, Audioboo (for voice recordings or podcasts) and Storybird (to make embeddable storybooks). We have also used tools such as Animationish and the ScreenChomp app for the iPad. We have taken pictures of posters or other things they have made, or posted combinations of these if we feel that using only one tool is not adequate to show what we can do.

Be realistic about your design and expectations. • Make use of relevant models. • Instill a sense of ownership in the students creating the portfolios. • Communicate implementation strategies and timelines clearly. • Be selective in design and strategy. • Allow for continuous improvement and growth. • Incorporate assessment stakeholders in all phases and components of your efforts; that is, make sure portfolio content meets the needs of those assessing the work.
