[Portfolio] Anybody using OSP for evaluating a departmentalprogram?

[Debbie Boisvert]

I would agree with Sean, this would be powerful. I have had a number of occasions in which it would be helpful if multiple people could contribute to the same matrix and even connect it to the same portfolio piece.  
 
Earlier this year we tried to use it for a grant evaluation and have different users contribute different pieces. Our plan was to set it up so that we could use the portfolio for the final evaluation.

It would be powerful to be able to designate a user or group the ability to use individual matrix cells, in much the same way that you can designate evaluators and reviewers. This would allow for a bunch of interesting collaborative workflows that might meet your needs.

As it stands now, I can only think of a couple ways to accomplish something like that:

Scenario 1:
- create groups in the site and give group permissions to folders (maybe one folder per matrix cell?) in resources that would allow the collaborators to add, edit, copy materials (collaborate!)
- Have a user (maybe a different role) of the site proof, select and assemble materials from the site resources folders using the matrix
- using reviewer functionality to allow all other users to be able to view, but not change, the material assembled in matrix cells.

Scenario 2 (I shudder to suggest):
- a shared, fictitious login for the group...everyone logs in with it and can "share" the matrix.

I'd vote for #1.

Is anyone using OSP to evaluate the effectiveness of their
departmental/institutional degree program? That is, some
adminsitrative folk on campus post various student and/or faculty
documentation into a matrix to show how the school's curriculum
materials and methods encourage growth and understanding in their
students...

The default application for OSP forms, matrix and portfolio templates
is to demonstrate student savvy and growth -- a student posts evidence
in the matrix, fills out forms, and produces a portfolio from the
results. We're looking to get ideas from folks who might be using OSP
from a higher-level perspective...

If you'd like to reply off-line, that's great too -- but I bet lots of
folks here would love to know about your approach.

Thanks!
