  2. Need digital portfolios

  3. Identifying the Need • Who needed digital portfolios? • Education • Business • What could digital portfolios do better than hard-copy portfolios? • Electronic submission • Immediate sharing

  4. Research digital portfolios

  5. Research • Who first marketed digital portfolios? • When did LiveText join the conversation? • Company history • Marketed towards:

  6. Development digital portfolios

  7. Development • Who first marketed digital portfolios? Who were the intended customers? • When did LiveText join the conversation? • Company history • Marketed towards:

  8. Commercialization digital portfolios

  9. Commercialization • Product in the beginning • Cost • Access • Features • Current product • Cost • Access • Features • How does LiveText compare with other products?

  10. Where are we now? digital portfolios

  11. Educational Design and Technology • Current: • Students are required to maintain an online portfolio • Assessed at three points in the program • Require a minimum of 36 artifacts, charted into six program goals, and gauged according to three levels of mastery • Future: • Students could focus on what is included in their portfolios, instead of how to construct one, if a template or universal format could be shared. • At a glance feedback and progress monitoring would help advisors stay on top of student progress • Consistent format would allow for easier and more objective assessments of portfolios.

  12. Other Graduate Education Programs • Current: • Students are required to maintain an online portfolio in LiveText • Assessed at three points in the program • Templates are provided for each program • Allows for easy monitoring of student progress

  13. S-Curve Rate of Adoption

  14. Graphs: LiveText • Originated in 1997 • Adopted by several CUW Graduate Education programs in 2008. • Additional programs (all except one, including all new programs) have added LiveText as a program requirement by 2012.

  15. LiveText adoptions • Innovators=Counseling and Educational Administration (2008) • Early Adopters=Family Life, Curriculum and Instruction, Reading (2010) • Late Adopters=Special Education and Graduate Certification (2012) • Laggards=Educational Design and Technology (not [yet] adopted)

  16. Livetext: adoption outside of CUW • I have contacted the company and am waiting to hear more about their growth, which will show the number of institutions who are using LiveText • Updates to come… • If I do not hear back from LiveText, I can explore data regarding the use of digital portfolios. My concern is that this data is usually reflective of digital portfolio adoption as an assessment strategy rather than the adoption of a technology. (I have contacted Dr. Green for advice on this matter.)
