INDIANAPOLIS — College graduates trying to enter the workforce with a paper resume and transcript? That’s so 20th century.

Students today can show the breadth and depth of their academic career and more with an ePortfolio, an online portfolio that can be built and enhanced from grade school all the way through college and into their work life.

The next-generation concept and platform were developed by CourseNetworking LLC and the IUPUI CyberLab, with ePortfolio licenses being offered free worldwide to all K-12 and higher education institutions with optional paid services and features.

“The CN ePortfolio has carefully developed its application software based on students’ needs in the 21st century,” said Ali Jafari, a professor in the School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI as well as the founder of CourseNetworking and director of the IUPUI CyberLab.

A news release about ePortfolio is available online.
