About
The Digital Multimedia Asset Portfolio (DMAP) system allows its users to create an electronic filing cabinet that stores electronic records in the form of reflective journals, hypertext and rich multimedia files as artefacts. Once these artefacts have been saved within the system they can be retrieved and annotated by the student’s academic supervisors using a standard Web Browser.
The DMAP system now provides an example of how the DMAP team’s conceptual framework for critiquing the development and use of ePortfolios can be implemented into a working system. The DMAP system problematizes these issues providing answers to issues of access and control, ethics and rights management, implementation and technical policy and notions of representation and recognition.
The project contains two main elements which include the building, installation and configuration of the DMAP system that uses open source software known as Wordpress-mu. The gathering of data is achieved through the use of qualitative data techniques including case studies, focus groups and semi structured interviews, and will be reported on in a traditional thesis structure. The project’s research question asks us to reflect on what elements of interaction and design best enable a post graduate student to manage and provide evidence of their learning through the use of virtual teams in a higher education setting.
