- Breaking into the field of online writing (blogs, online writing/information environments, etc). This would be the most likely candidate for a portfolio theme, since during the course of this semester I had my first experiences with a variety of online writing communities and endeavors, and as such is the most prominent concept I've been engaged with. The difficult thing about this theme is presenting the idea, especially to people have had extensive experience with online communities and tools.
- Assignment experience useful for future classes. This theme doesn't seem nearly as relevant as the first, but still makes for a useful consideration. For example, Wikitravel could (and probably is) used extensively as part of the Travel Writing course here at URI. The Website Redesign could be useful in Web Design courses, and so on. This information would be mostly relevant to younger students like myself, but is still a close runner-up to my first idea.
- Contributing to online information ecologies. As outlined in the Boyd and Bennett articles, modern technology calls for a shift in means of communication and interaction. Highlighting this concept could be a theme for my portfolio, but seems the weakest idea and most potentially difficult to express successfully. The theme would reflect the use and importance of the interactions and communications significant to the online communities we saw in this class.
