The Web Portfolio Guide by Miles A. Kimball gives sound practical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web, including planning, drafting, using templates, integrating graphics and multimedia, and revising, editing, and publishing the finished product. Based on current scholarship in the discipline, this text 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. 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.
