1: dotfolio.org domain name registered
Posted by Nick Carroll on 07/15/05 02:48 AM
I just registered dotfolio.org. There was a hefty premium to do so, as I was using a service that snatches up domains when they become available. Anyway, I am now the proud owner of dotfolio.org, and am now wondering what to do with it. Currently, it will be redirecting to my blog, but eventually I hope to have a site dedicated to e-portfolios. However I'm looking around for a server to host the site.

Any ideas of how this can be linked with dotlrn in the grand scheme of all things e-learning?

Nick, This is wonderful news. Let me see if the .LRN Consortium can make this happen right away.

I have heard good things about dotfolio. Is a demo available online Nick?

I have a production version of it running at http://portfolio.eng.usyd.edu.au.

I will have a demo version up and running next week. My development server has one running, but it is frequently down, so I won't use it as a demo.

Thanks Caroline, I will take up your hosting offer. I would like dotfolio.org to host the demo. Plus offer a web page about the project, etc.

The stuff that I have been working on dotfolio has mostly been infrastructure work. I think I have a suitable platform to start developing applications now.

I plan to start developing some e-portfolio specific applications for show casing work. Currently, dotfolio has a blog and file-storage apps installed by default for reflection. I wish to include a competency matrix application that conveys the level of competency achieved, with links to the evidence archived in the file-storage app. This already exists in OSPI, but I have a few cards up my sleeve that should trump their show-casing functionality.

Thank you all for your support (and patience) with this endeavour.

Cheers,
Nick.
