ABSTRACT
The ePortfolio studio course the author created for graduate students at Florida State University built on the independent study with Josh. It includes several categories of inquiry and design, five of which he describe: context, artifacts, curation, visuals, and review. The twofold purpose of the ePortfolio context section of the course is to help students learn about ePortfolios as a genre and to support their review of the range of models enacting that genre. Students also complete a list, or an inventory, of possible artifacts and exhibits, preferably one that is lifewide, that is, open to artifacts created in multiple contexts, among them past experiences or coursework; current coursework; job experiences; cocurriculars, including internships; and personal artifacts. The idea of ePortfolio curation has considerable appeal: It suggests that ePortfolio creators are intentional about selecting and contextualizing the ePortfolio artifacts.
