Portfolio Authorship as a Networked Activity

Abstract

In this paper, the author uses data from a multi-site case study to demonstrate the utility of Engestrom's (1987) Cultural Historical Activity as an analytic and interpretive framework to investigate the complex act of portfolio creation as practiced in accreditation-seeking institutions. The data highlights how the portfolio task is influenced by tensions arising from the task and the surrounding network of activity. She argues that a sociocultural frame, such as CHAT, is a viable tool to help move portfolio research beyond the atheoretical experience reports prevalent in the existing body of portfolio literature.
