2) Project Directory (P Drive) and Electronic Portfolios (Lloyd Onyett)

Lloyd described how the Project Directory is being used by students and faculty, not only for developing portfolio artifacts in each of their classes, but also for students to submit homework assignments, and for faculty to provide information to the students.

The new Portfolio server is operational. Kevin configured the new server and Rishi Mathur assisted Kevin in setting up individual folders for each Education major. The new Portfolio server will be known as the Q drive.
