The Web Portfolio Handbook: Preface   

Welcome to The Web Portfolio Handbook. The goal of this book is to help students and professionals envision, plan, design, and create academic or professional portfolios using Web technologies. Web portfolios hold tremendous promise as a pedagogical tool and learning medium. But because web portfolios—for that matter, even portfolios in general—are a relatively recent development, this preface will not only introduce how this book works, but provide a conceptual framework for using web portfolios in the classroom.
