We are getting closer to launch! What you see below are several screenshots of our soon to be released ePortfolios. In the very near future we will be posting screenshots of our courses and learning management system. We’d love to hear your thoughts/feedback on the ePortfolio designs! You can click on them to see an enlarged view. Thanks!

5 Reasons to Create an ePortfolio

1. Define your space on the Web
2. Post your CV or Resume
3. Display your work
3. Help get a job or into college/graduate school
4. Network with other educators, mentors, and students
5. Attract students for courses you are teaching on NIXTY

Sarah Lacy has a nice post up on techcrunch about the need for startup to swing for the fences and try to change the world. I once heard a person say that your mission statement captures where you are now, your vision statement captures where you want to end up, and your strategic plan shows you how to get from your mission to your vision.

Our vision, even though our engineers cringe whenever I use this terminology, is to be the educational operating system for the Web. Fred Wilson alluded to this in a post a few months ago, where he conceptualized the Internet as one big operating system with default services. You want to search, you use Google. You want to buy something, you use Amazon. These services act like programs (think word or powerpoint) for the Web. We want to be that default system for education.

We realize that this is a preposterous goal. Jim Collins has underlied the importance of Big Hairy Audacious Goals. Well, this is our BHAG. Chuckle, laugh, criticise, but join us! Sign up for our beta. We need your help reaching this goal!

Beta testing will begin in late December. In the near future, we’ll post some screenshots of the ePortfolios, courses, and learning management systems that we have been working on.
