The Digital Convergence: Extending the Portfolio Model
By Gary Greenberg

This article explores the role of portfolios starting from the use of portfolios by artsits, and progresses through a discussion of digital portfolios and the many purposes they can serve covering three types of ePortfolios:

The showcase ePortfolio: organization occurs after the work has been created.
The structured ePortfolio: a predefined organization exists for work that is yet to be created.
The learning ePortfolio: organization of the work evolves as the work is created.
Links to institutions using portfolios in these varied ways are provided.

Opportunties offered by ePortfolios are supporting authentic assessment and lifelong learning.
