Ruth Cox & Kevin Kelly: Grow and nurture the portfolio through the framework of ePorticulture
Dr Ruth Cox and Dr Kevin Kelly, pioneers of ePortfolios at San Francisco State University (SFSU) in the U.S.A. share their metaphor of 'ePorticulture' and how the gardening metaphor works well to convey the cycle of work that is involved when you create a portfolio.We go back to the roots of their portfolio initiative, what they have achieved, and where portfolios are at today at SFSU.Go to the episode notes for the links to resources, the transcript, and chapter markers.Connect with RuthRuth's work with the Northern California Society of Botanical ArtistsRuth's Internet Movie Database page, an example of a portfolio you don't fully control when you are in the public sphereConnect with KevinKevin on (X) TwitterKevin on LinkedInResourcesArticles and book chapters on ePorticulture:Shada, A.; Kelly, K.; Cox, R. & Malik, S.
