Roland;
Some very valid points here. I wonder if there is an
appropriate/Standard Time to Live for digital resources?
I know files and features can be updated and modified but eventually the
content and methodology becomes outdated ( as well as you say the tools
to use them).
Do you have a link for the Open document standard?
By the way without showing my age to badly Load runner was my child hood
introduction to computers. But I recently cam across space invaders for
the TRS-80 on audio tape. (now that was a fun sound to listen to)
 
Regards
Andrew

That raises two fascinating issues that are worth raising with your
students. As my teacher-librarian is at pains to point out when I
explored backing up the school video collection, we shouldn't confuse
issues of archiving with those for digital storage. 

Good archiving demands the skills of a highly trained and experienced
individual to maintain, prune and perhaps the oversee the ultimate
destruction of data in the archive. The expectation that a school will
to archive all the student electronic portfolios work for remote access
beyond their term of stay is probably unreasonable. Commercial software
vendors would like to make us think that a one stop solution will
continue to be supported for another decade and serve school needs. Only
a few schools had a website 10 years ago, I wont try to predict where we
will be in another 10. In 20 years we may laugh at many of our quaint
ideas and practices.

Another issue is that of digital decay. Today's digital documents face a
more serious threat: the disappearance of computers and software able to
read them. Some of my older documents can already no longer be read by
MS Office (the list of file imports is getting smaller with each
release). With perhaps some scorn leveled at me by colleagues, I have
taken the lead from the Australian National Library and insist on using
a standards driven format called OpenDocument to archive my work for
long term storage. Without emulators, I will happily buy a bunch of
flowers in 2020 for anybody who will still be able to open my first
experiments with Kahootz. (We cannot legally copy, redistribute or media
shift commercial software on that .. hmm, was it called a CDROM?) If
only I could get Easycal working again, I could recover my first ever
spreadsheet .. then again, I could always start with Load Runner and
Canyon Climber .. where did I put that 5.25" drive hmm  :-)

Regards Roland

therefore the question... 
	Can students continue to use thier moodle page after leaving the

		Digital portfolios are a breeze with moodle....  Just
create a course called ePortfolio and create as many sections as you
wish.  Automatically students have a secure private place to add text,
graphics and multimedia content.....
		I have even added a section for parents to view all
their past reports online.....

		Hello everyone,
		
		Now that the IPM classes are over, I've been looking
more carefully at the VELS stuff. From Level 3, our students are meant
to be keeping a digital bank of evidence... How are others going to work
this? Any ideas?
		
		Thanks, Lesley
