I found these:

• Google Apps for ePortfolios – Helen Barrett, the mother of ePortfolios, knees down and worship.
• Telemarketers – Kill the Calls –
• Telemark Marketing –
• LiveQuartz – Works excellent!
• The European Tech Tour Association –
• Swiss Equity fair –
• Reputica – Reputation Management – “Our unique ReputicaRating? technology reads, interprets and measures billions of individual pieces of online and offline material, both positive and negative, to understand how other people perceive you – and what to do about it.”
• bundesschatz –

Here the latest report on what US-kids are doing online. Lots of indications that schools just need to adapt to it and offer adequate tools. You know what I mean. I’m preaching the [tag-tec]ePortfolio[/tag-tec] way since we are a vendor and consultancy.

Release of study, “Creating & Connecting: Research and Guidelines on Online Social and Educational [tag-ice]Networking[/tag-ice]” The report, available now for media only at http://files.nsba.org/creatingandconnecting.pdf , is embargoed until Tuesday, August 14, at 12:01 a.m.

Key findings:

* 96 percent of students with online access use social networking technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging, and visiting online communities such as [tag-ice]Facebook[/tag-ice], [tag-tec]MySpace[/tag-tec], and Webkinz.

I created a pipe that searches across a wide range of sources for the term and concept of [tag-ice]ePortfolio[/tag-ice]s. It’s part of the website of the Austrian E-Portfolio Initiative. You can go to the latter page to subscribe to it via Email too without being a Yahoo customer and of course to the public feed of that platform. Enjoy and feedback is more than welcome.

We did good! Die Studie bestätigt, dass wir mit unserer Software am richtigen Weg sind. Zudem sind wir die einzigen und ersten (Update: d.h. currikularer Einsatz auf Basis österr. Software) die Implementierungen aufzuweisen haben. Unser Weg wird jedenfalls in Richtung Web 2.0 und Standards gehen; welche (abseits von Web-Standards) ist noch offen „Vorstudie zu didaktischen, organisatorischen und technologischen Grundlagen von E-Portfolios und Analyse internationaler Beispiele und Erfahrungen mit E-Portfolio-Implementierungen an der Hochschule”,

Ziele der vorliegenden Studie sind zum einen die Erstellung einer Status-Quo-Analyse über die – zur Zeit – noch sehr bunte und uneinheitliche E-Portfolio-Landschaft Europas im Hochschulsektor, zum anderen die Entwicklung einer Wissens- und Entscheidungsbasis zur Implementierung von E-Portfolio-Projekten.
