Summary

This text gives sound practical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web, including planning and drafting; using templates, integrating graphics and multimedia; and revising, editing, and publishing the finished product. Based on current scholarship in the discipline,The Web Portfolio Handbooksuggests that the Web is an ideal medium for portfolio writing, arguing that the very concept of a portfolio, whether paper or electronic, is hypertextual. By creating web portfolios, which include not only implicit links but active hyperlinks between artifacts and reflections, authors synthesize the products of their learningboth for themselves and for their audiences. To this end, the text gives sound practical advice to student writers on constructing portfolios on the Web.
