The Importance of Getting It Wrong

This posting highlights an instructor's experience introducing "disruptive innovations" into an introductory sociology course. Two lessons learned that relate to ePortfolio implementations:
"The first thing learned from this experience was that when having classes create media projects (as opposed to traditional papers) it is necessary to set very hard limits on the numbers of these projects...the time and energy spent producing the media projects crowded out time and energy to work with the curriculum."
"The second lesson I learned was that in introducing new teaching methods it is necessary to enforce limits on students technological use, as they will gravitate to the more robust and time intensive tools if you let them."
