I have written a couple of times in the past about ePortfolios and how I personally feel by leveraging blogs and wilki’s we could quite easily build a ePortfolio without the need of specialised tools. A couple of days ago Brian Lamb posted about how he and a friend (well mostly a friend) have modifiedContinue reading “Blogfolios?”

More on ePortfolios
A few weeks ago I mentioned ePortfolios and since then I have been thinking through the different items that would make up such a tool.

Michael Gartenberg from ComputerWorld (IDG) wrote a short item yesterday on business blogging. He provides 3 areas for all businesses and employees to consider when venturing into this space.

I just created a replica of my blogger account over there to have a look (I will probably delete it in a few days so as not to confuse things). They have created very interesting tool integrating blogs,Continue reading “Microsoft to offer blogging service”
