In this selection of users such tools include learning management systems, grade tracking tools, computer account management systems, and even learning object re positories. Furthermore, because a portfolio is meant to be a long-term work in progress, the output of any portfolio system must be able to exist outside of the system in some easily editable format. \par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid6106056 \par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid5714449\charrsid8070795 We cannot assume that all users will be using the same instance of the program; in fact we assume just the opposite. With such a diverse set of users groups some would prefer to have the security advantage of hosting locally (particularly where grades are involved). There are both advantages and disadv a ntages to such an implementation structure. However, this presents a problem when a transfer from one install to another is required. We provide a mechanism for how our system can identify other instances of it. The next challenge therefore, is how to talk with other portfolio systems and establishing extensive verification protocols. \par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid6106056 \par }{\f1\fs20\insrsid5714449\charrsid8070795 With the anticipation of future standards and changes in the way portfolios are created we have designed an initial architecture that can easily be modified, extended, and adapted. }{ \f1\fs20\insrsid3758947\charrsid8070795 However, we need to keep in mind that g}{\f1\fs20\insrsid5714449\charrsid8070795 eneral systems have a tendency to be designed at the loss of usability.
