	Archived: STUDENT PORTFOLIOS: CLASSROOM USES
		Portfolios are useful as a support to the new instructional approaches that emphasize the student's role in constructing understanding and the teacher's role in promoting understanding.
		While portfolios were developed on the model of the visual and performing arts tradition of showcasing accomplishments, portfolios in classrooms today are a highly flexible instructional and assessment tool, adaptable to diverse curricula, student age/grade levels, and administrative contexts.
		Portfolios can provide structure for involving students in developing and understanding criteria for good efforts, in coming to see the criteria as their own, and in applying the criteria to their own and other students' work.

	Portfolio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many portfolio optimization algorithms are based on MPT or Modern Portfolio Theory.
		The most commonly used method is Mean-Variance optimization where portfolio allocations aim at maximizing the profit while constraining the risk.
		Alone in the UK, more than 4 million people have got a qualification (NVQ) through accreditation of prior learning or accreditation of work experience, and most of them have built a portfolio to collect the evidence required to get their certificate.

	The Digital Portfolio: A Richer Picture of Student Performance
		Portfolios are gaining currency as an assessment alternative to report cards and transcripts; numbers of schools, and even entire states -- notably Kentucky and Vermont -- are using portfolios to get a more accurate description of a student's capabilities.
		The students who are putting portfolios together are responsible for making sure a video camera is in the room when a performance is being given or for recording significant elements in the process of a project.
		Portfolio advisors for groups of students can help to map the student work to the outcomes and help the students determine what is "best" work.

	How to produce a teaching portfolio
		An important point: the portfolio is not an exhaustive compilation of all of the documents and materials that bear on teaching performance.
		The items chosen for the portfolio depend on the teaching style of the professor, the purpose for which the portfolio is prepared, and any content requirements of a professor's department or institution.
		One element of the portfolio which may go unnoticed is the date, an item important to any portfolio because it helps the faculty member establish a base line from which to measure actual development in teaching performance.

	Preparing a Teaching Portfolio
		Most portfolios are NOT collections of everything that the professor has done in the way of teaching over his or her entire career.
		Portfolios provide documented evidence of teaching that is connected to the specifics and contexts of what is being taught.
		Portfolios are a step toward a more public, professional view of teaching.

	Portfolio Management Forum sponsored by ProSight (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Portfolio management plays a critical role during both the development, where product development is committed to meeting lifecycle requirements and hitting gates, and the assessment, where subjective and objective criteria about the progress are considered, weighed, and given the go-ahead or no-go.
		Using portfolios of similar elements based on similar metrics allows executives to gain a complete understanding of the problems and the benefits, ensuring that critical issues are not overlooked.
		Portfolio management techniques are most commonly used by upper level management and executives (like CIOs CFOs, and CEOs) to gain a better understanding of both all the investments and their performance.

		Although they use technology, web portfolios are not about technology; they are about habits of thinking and the practices that cultivate those habits.
		A web portfolio is collection of work that a student chooses in order to illustrate the unfolding meaning of their career.
		Besides demonstrating a student's grasp of the central subject of their studies, web portfolios promote four goals of liberal learning: recognizing connections, being reflective about intellectual and personal growth, building intellectual community, and building bridges to communities outside the academy.

	Digital Portfolios:
		Portfolios have long been in use in the arts; artists, dancers, musicians and actors all have traditionally developed portfolios of their work which were used as a demonstration of competency in their given field.
		At a growing number of universities, portfolios are integrated into the teacher education program for the purpose of documenting accomplishment of program goals and to demonstrate growth of student performance over time.
		Portfolios can motivate students to learn because they have the power to make connections between theory and practice and to select items for the portfolio that express their purpose and design.

	Teaching Portfolio
		A "teaching portfolio" is a compilation of information about a faculty member's teaching, made by that faculty member, often for use in consideration for tenure or promotion.
		The very fact that the teaching portfolio is now in place should serve to underscore the increasing emphasis on the value of teaching at WSU and in higher education nationally.
		The original impetus for proposing the portfolio at WSU was the fact that personnel documents from different units described teaching activities in such varied ways that often it was difficult, if not impossible, to use them fairly or to obtain useful aggregate results.

	Amby's Site -- PORTFOLIO LIBRARY: Planning and Design Guide
		Instead, I wish to advocate for student-centered portfolios where the choice of what goes into the portfolio is the student's, or at the very least, it becomes a shared decision between teacher and student.
		Portfolios offer their greatest promise when they are used to help students engage in a meaningful self-assessment of their own talents, learning, goals, and accomplishments.
		The primary purpose of a student portfolio is to demonstrate what has been learned in a given class or across a certain part of your school career.

	Portfolio Assessment
		Portfolio approaches to assessing literacy have been described in a wide variety of publications (Flood and Lapp, 1989; Lamme and Hysmith, 1991; Matthews, 1990; Tierney, Carter, and Desai, 1991; Valencia, 1990; Wolf, 1989) so that many descriptions of portfolios exist.
		Generally speaking, a literacy portfolio is a systematic collection of a variety of teacher observations and student products, collected over time, that reflect a student's developmental status and progress made in literacy.
		Portfolios can be thought of as a form of "embedded assessment"; that is, the assessment tasks are a part of instruction.

	The Electronic Portfolio Development Process
		This stage of the electronic portfolio development process occupies the longest span of time and is the stage I call, "Becoming a Digital Packrat!" Knowing which goals or standards you are trying to demonstrate should help determine the types of portfolio artifacts to be collected and then selected.
		In the formative portfolio reflections typically occur at significant points in the learning process, and are added contemporaneously as noted in the previous stage.
		In an environment of continuous improvement, a portfolio should be viewed as an ongoing learning tool, and its effectiveness should be reviewed on a regular basis to be sure that it is meeting the goals set.

		A portfolio is often defined as a purposeful collection of student [or teacher] work that illustrates efforts, progress, and achievement in one or more areas over time.
		An electronic portfolio uses digital technologies, allowing the portfolio developer to collect and organize portfolio artifacts in many media types (audio, video, graphics, text).
		A standards-based portfolio uses a database or hypertext links to clearly show the relationship between standards or goals, artifacts, and reflections.
