As part of SFSU's ePortfolio Development report they reviewed four open-source ePortfolio products, including Mahara. There is a consolidation of that information available, which is complemented by their entire report. Go to and check out the bottom right column. (6/2/09)teachingcommons.cdl.edu...

Most of the above represent some kind of online tools and services. Other kinds of tools being used to create ePortfolios include:
- Hosted web services such as: Geocities: http://geocities.yahoo.com/; Google Sites: http://www.google.com/sites/overview.html; Tripod: http://www.tripod.lycos.com/; Weebly: http://www.weebly.com/
- Blogs, for example: WordPress: http://wordpress.com/; Weebly: http://www.weebly.com/; Blogger: https://www.blogger.com/start
- Social Networking Sites such as: Orkut, http://www.orkut.com/Main#About.aspx [UNC Pembroke]; ELGG (3): http://elgg.org/ ELGG is now a social site; it was sold as a commercial product while ago --Trent
- Wikis, for example: PBWiki: http://pbwiki.com/; Wikispaces: http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers; WetPaint Wiki: http://wetpaint.com
- Common desktop tools (paraphrasing Dr. Helen Barrett who described them as the following): "common desktop tools are still a big player in the K-12 schools...they want to use the tools that they already
have in place. These tools are what Steve Ehrmann calls "worldware" and I think they are widely used (Microsoft Office, Dreamweaver, iLife, iWork, etc.). A lot of K-12 schools don't have the Internet bandwidth to maintain a web-based portfolio..." Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft SharePoint (which is partially based on Front Page technologies) also fall into this category:
