EdCube Connect e-Portfolio

 Collaborative and Reflective Student e-Portfolios

The EdCube Connect Dashboard provides students with access to their e-Portfolios, teacher rubrics, planning mindmaps, shared files and collaborative workspaces.

Interactive Student e-Portfolios

EdCube Connect is a fully featured e-Portfolio software application that builds individual student e-Portfolios.

The student e-Portfolios can be created as linear e-Books or as open ended e-Portfolios using EdCube mind-mapping tools.

The simple installation process imports a student timetabled classes and displays the student e-Portfolios in class groups.

Dynamic Interlinked e-Portfolios

With EdCube software, students can create dynamic e-Portfolio with multiple content pages. Each content page can feature multiple files including text, audio, video, animations and linked documents. The navigation structure of the e-Portfolio is created using concept mapping (mind mapping) tools.

The student starts the e-Portfolio with a single topic or idea and then creates immediate links to related ideas or concepts. These concepts can be explored further by adding content pages to each area. In minutes the student can create complex mind maps that automatically build the structure of the e-Portfolio.
