Interesting comments, Joost, and I agree that there needs to be a lot of work to align the curriculum with the ePortfolio & I suspect that how that is done has a huge effect on how successful the ePortfolio for supporting learning.

I agree that students should have the options for open and closed reflection ) depending on their need) – but shutting students down completely reduces their ability to network and connect which adds another dimension to eportfolios – which brings me back to giving students choice.
