An Information Systems Design Theory for Collaborative ePortfolio Systems

An educational ePortfolio usually contains work that a student has collected, reflected on, constructed, and published to demonstrate personal learning and growth over time. This paper proposes Information Systems Design Theory for ePortfolio systems following the methodology by Walls et al. (1992). A new eportfolio system is designed based on the proposed ISDT. The research model is discussed and the evaluation is planned to examine users´ perceived value of the new system, measured by usefulness as a tool, effectiveness in achieving users´ goals, knowledge, learning, and social effects.
