O-Space: e-Portfolios: An Electronic Portfolio (e-Portfolio) is an online multi-media collection of written and visual work. Faculty, students, and staff may create e-Portfolios for a wide variety of uses, such as a class that requires posting artwork for review. Individuals can also use personal e-Portfolios as they build their body of work. Graduating seniors can direct potential galleries or employers to their site. And most recently, Otis students have begun to create their own Learning Portfolios as part of their coursework at Otis. It is an opportunity for them to reflect on their own learning and make various connections among their experiences at Otis. Facilitator: Heather Cleary
