This document discusses digital portfolios for teachers and students at UHS. It suggests digital portfolios can serve two main purposes: as a space for learning, reflection, and social engagement; and to showcase capabilities and assessments. Digital portfolios are seen as evolving over three levels - from a storage space, to a workspace for immediate feedback, to a showcase of mature selections and reflections. The document provides examples of digital portfolios and discusses their potential strengths and limitations. Feedback is emphasized as important to improve teaching and learning.
