The Web Portfolio Guide: Creating Electronic Portfolios for the Web

by Miles Kimball

This text gives sound practical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web, including planning and drafting; using templates, integrating graphics and multimedia; and revising, editing, and publishing the finished product. Based on current scholarship in the discipline, The Web Portfolio Handbook suggests that the Web is an ideal medium for portfolio writing, arguing that the very concept of a portfolio, whether paper or electronic, is hypertextual. By creating web portfolios, which include not only implicit links but active hyperlinks between artifacts and reflections, authors synthesize the products of their learning–both for themselves and for their audiences. To this end, the text gives sound practical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web.

I had to read this book for my capstone class since we're creating an electronic portfolio. The first two chapters is all I really needed to read and even that was pretty repetitive and common sense stuff. The other chapters were just details about formating, graphics, etc. I don't think they really needed to write a whole book about it.
