Will your wealth and power change you? James, if this masterplan doesn't include perpetual Windows-like updates and words such as "vista," I'm for it. Jeremy, you seem like a nice guy (now).

James, if this masterplan doesn’t include perpetual Windows-like updates and words such as “vista,” I’m for it.

API! Ajax!) and sell to Yahoo! for a bazillion dollars...which would put the headquarters of PLT LTD in Sunnyvale, CA. Yeeeeah...I'll just start packing those bags.

HQ be :) Steve, I think we should be wary of this accumulated masterplan! Heh, where will PLT ltd. HQ be :)

Steve, I think we should be wary of this accumulated masterplan!

I've taken your advice and purged the e-portfolio as the unifying concept in the <a href="http://headspacej.blogspot.com/2006/02/personal-learning-environment-model.html" rel="nofollow">updated version</a>. I expanded it a bit more, too. In this model, an e-portfolio could be simply another tool in the Personal Learning Toolkit (PLT)(TM)(Registered Trademark)(Copyright 2006)(Patent Pending). (wink) Grumpy is all good when you nail it…

Can one system, which may divert teaching and learning resources in one direction, prove comprehensive enough? In some cases, eportfolio might come at the end of a link within another system, as might a student's weblog (unless the student is using the weblog as a portfolio--but what if they's using Storyspace?). I see faculty in many cases wrestling with a basic question: what are the consequences of this tool vs another as the ripples move ever-outward. Jeremy and James,

I like the newly coined wrestling move, and agree that it could be applied to e-portfolios. And yes, if e-portfolios continue to only conjure images of assessment and samples of past work, perhaps it's time to move on to a new label for ways of using tools to help people learn, keep track of their own work, plan future directions and connect to each other. PLE? Maybe...like others have been saying already, these unnamed "tools" already have a name -- the web. Well said, as usual, James.
