I'm probably missing something... why isn't e-portfolio inclusive of non-textual digital items? > Is MySpace etc an 'eportfolio'? Part of an 'eportfolio'? If > so what is the 'intent' behind it? MySpace (etc.) is a service so it can't be an e-portfolio (at least not according to the definitions just discussed). MySpace might be the service used to manage a digital collection that is an e-portfolio - but it is the collection that is the e-portfolio, not the service ?? The 'intent' is in the particular use and/or selection of material held on MySpace.
