1. Developmental - a record of things that the owner has done over a period of time.

2. Reflective - personal reflections on the content and what it means for the owner.

3. Representational - shows what the owner has achieved.

• “I can see something like this being a stepping stone to a RFID chip implanted in our body. This is a dangerous road to go down where all freedoms could be lost. It might be voluntary now but that how it starts until they trick enough people to go along with it and make it mandatory. EVIL SCHEMES MOVING ONE STEP AT A TIME SO YOU DON'T NOTICE!”

• “Even if it never becomes legally mandatory, if no business or online retailer, bank, etc. excepts alternatives to the ID because it becomes popular and standardized, then it might as well be illegal not to have one, because it will be impossible to function without this ID.”

• “This is the reason why there has been so many "security breaches" lately. All of them perpetrated by the US GOVERNMENT in order to manufacture consent for this system.”

• “No thanks. Im happy just the way things are. If you forget your passsword or cant make one clever enough to keep from getting stolen then thats your problem.”

• “I choose 'other' - a microchip implanted between my eyes with a bar code across my forehead.”

• “Hello Big Brother”.

it has to be easy to use

security

too big?

multiple biometric identifiers?

Interoperability

A general consensus appears to divide ePortfolios into three categories:

1. Developmental (e.g., working) - a record of things that the owner has done over a period of time – may be directly tied to learner outcomes or rubrics.

2. Reflective (e.g., learning) - includes personal reflection on the content and what it means for the owner's development.

3. Representational (e.g., showcase) - shows what the owner has achieved in relation to particular work or developmental goals and is, therefore, selective.

Is that too much to ask?

it MUST:

• contain EVERYTHING
• be SIMPLE and EASY to use
• be PROFESSIONAL in its look and functionality
• be USER-CONTROLLED
• be ACCESSIBLE to EVERYONE and NO-ONE
• be BACKED UP
• be FUTURE PROOF
• be easily SEARCHED
• be accessible ANYWHERE
• be able to COMMUNICATE with ALL other systems
• be able to be PERSONALISED
• promote REFLECTION - formally and/or informally
• demonstrate LINKS to OTHERS
• have LIFELONG availability and support
• and still be accessible after DEATH
