Progress toward providing students with ePortfolio assessment options may be impeded by the high cost of commercial hosting services.
Perhaps we need to consider leap-frogging ePortfolio technology in favor of low cost, student-generated Personal Learning Environments (PLE) instead.
What has been your experience using free PLE hosting services such as Digication, pbWiki, WikiPaint, Netcipia, Blogger, Ning, WordCircle, Connexions, MERLOT, Edu2.0, or OER Commons?
