Open Source Software is increasing its popularity with the onset of electronic portfolios. For both students and business professionals an electronic portfolio can prove quite useful and popular when trying to stand out above the crowd in an demanding workforce. There are numerous ways to create portfolios, but by having a website that contains all of your information you save time and the frustration of keeping all of it together. You simply hand your future employer a card with your website on it. The appearance of organization is apparent and your use of technology skills shine. Try it out for yourself or create portfolios with your students!
Through eTech Ohio my school had the wonderful opportunity of trying out an Open Source portfolio powered by Sakai. My English department decided to utilize this software as Career Portfolios for our students to create. However, the possibilities are endless. You could very easily utilize this software to create a showcase of student work, create a place to showcase what's going on in your classroom, or use it to simply compile documents for any reason.
