This document discusses implementing a course-level learning portfolio using content management system (CMS)-based tools to document student learning when teaching in open spaces with cloud-based tools. It describes Kelvin Thompson's approach of using a CMS as the home base while having students maintain public blogs, profiles, and wikis. His "upside down" approach involves making public coursework private by uploading excerpts and reflections to the CMS. The document outlines requirements for a CMS-based portfolio tool and provides examples of how assignment dropboxes can be used. It concludes with lessons learned, such as the need for clear instructions and support for students, and steps to get started with a CMS portfolio.
