Capturing and Sharing Open Educational Practices with ePortfolios

The MERLOT community created a collection of online resources about ePortfolios that you can explore and learn about ways to capture Open Educational Practices with ePortfolios. AAEEBL, The Association for Authentic, Experiential, & Evidence-Based Learning, has provided a list of Digital Ethics Principles in ePortfolios that the MERLOT community would like to advocate as well. Tthese principles are well-aligned with the principles of Open Educational Practices.
