This text gives sound pratical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web, including planning
draft, 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 in effect 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, including
planning, the use of templates, integrating graphics and multimedia, revising, editing and publishing the finished
product.
Throughout, This book's approach to technology is built on a basic principle: web portfolio development should
be as inexpensive and simple as possible. This principle reflects the idea that the web can be a practical medium
for portfolio development�pedagogically, logistically, and economically.
