E-Portfolios can play a critical role in supporting students as a navigational strategy for 21st century learning outcomes. Since 2005, one professional program at the University of Oregon has been working with e-portfolios, which are based in an open source blogging platform, and which are integrated throughout the curriculum. This paper will present findings about valuing e-portfolios for learning and for professional preparation. The inclusion of open source social media approaches to learning has implications for institutions as well as for 21st century student learning outcomes.
