Pathbrite

ePortfolios are becoming more and more common these days as a way for students to compile and present evidence of their learning and understanding - be that in a given course or for an entire 4-year degree program. On the other hand, many college course nowadays use some type of course management system (CMS) that is only accessible to the student and the instructor. Pathbrite is an attempt to combine a CMS with an ePortfolio that students can use (after college) to share their 'career readiness' with potential employers.

That all makes good sense - Pathbrite is free for instructors and $10 for students (per year). And that's the problem: is it reasonable to 'force' students to spend an additional $40?
