The e-portfolio is central to our efforts. It has two parts. First, the description of what the member has done in achieving minimum competency is coupled with a url linked to the product of the work. Second is the reflection component. This component is heart of the e-portfolio. Here the member notes components and functionalities of the application. Unanticipated or unintended learnings are documented. How could the app be used by the learner? How does what has been created lead to future learnings? The key elements here are the functionalities of each app.
The shaping of these portfolios is of major importance. Collaboration will be the key to quality.

The Wiki
I worked on the Home page, and using my notes from the meeting, I developed "Elements and Assumptions" as means of presenting the "givens". I will talk about these to the members at our organization meeting.
This might be a good time to talk about screencasting. Using Jing, I can provide screencasts for all of the important actions I might take as screencasts. I added a screencasts archive page to the wiki. I also added an Applications Matrix page, a page for stakeholders to share our progress and the "Guide's Space".
I have done a lot of work on what I call "A Transformational Learning Object" using Cmap. Much of the work with Web 2.0 free online applications. After much searching, I came upon a categorization of these tools done by at this site.
I have struggled mightily with the e-portfolio format for the member pages. I need to provide for documenting creation of new knowledge related to each of the tools as examined by the member. I also need to associate the knew learning with an opportunity for reflection. The problem is that I'm working with many to many relationships which are not well represented in a Wiki. While researching e-portfolios, I came across research done by Helen Barrett. The key element in what eventually became the solution to my problem was what Dr. Barrett developed as an e-portfolio matrix. I finally decided how to set up each members page and continue to fine tune them. I think the major elements of the wiki are in place and it's time to share what I have done with Mike and Jason.
