Fluid and free form portfolio

Part of the problem was a failure to make a distinction between the 
student's repository, which absolutely should be owned by the student, 
and the portfolio space, which usually needs to be collaborative. I'm 
attaching a picture from BECTA's ePortfolio analysis here, although I'm 
not sure whether it will come through the listserv intact:


If you think of the bottom space as a (JCR-compatible) repository where 
individuals own content that the provision into the environment, the top 
rectangles as collaborative spaces (regardless of whether those spaces 
are thought of as "eportfolios"), and the "tool" arrows as collaboration 
services that get provisioned into the spaces for specific purposes, I 
think you have a flexible learning and collaboration environment that 
looks roughly like what Sean and John are talking about. From 30,000 
feet, it's not so different from what Sakai offers today, but 
implementation is everything.
