Two education technology companies will be working together to provide instructors with the capability to set up eportfolios for use with class materials. Cengage Learning, a major textbook and digital media company, and Foliotek, which has an electronic portfolio management system, plan to deliver a single offering that integrates a specific curriculum with portfolio management capabilities.

The new deal will provide users of Cengage resources with a bundled Foliotek eportfolio for use in their courses. Instructors will receive automatic access to moderator and community creation capabilities with simplified enrollment. They can package eportfolio resources with the course materials for simple and secure access to student documents and other kinds of class output, such as videos, artwork, and case work. Also, faculty will be able to create and moderate portfolio-based "communities" and allow students to enroll in those communities at a discounted rate.

    Why Cross-Skilling Is the Smartest Investment a Campus IT Team Can Make

    Higher education IT teams are being asked to keep pace with AI, cloud, and cybersecurity on flat budgets, and hiring a specialist for every new need can no longer keep up. Building adjacent skills across the people already on staff creates more agile, resilient teams that move faster and retain talent without adding headcount. Pluralsight makes the strategy work through skill assessments, tailored learning paths, hands-on labs and sandboxes, and microlearning that fits into the flow of work.
