This document will provide information about migrating your learning eportfolio into your professional eportfolio, and helping us build an archive of student learning eportfolios.

1. Migrating and Archiving Student ePortfolios
Graduating Students: Congratulations on being part of the first cohort to successfully develop
and maintain curriculum-related learning eportfolios as part of the Arts and Administration
graduate program. Your input, feedback, and willingness to experiment with us was integral to
the success of this first department-wide implementation.
You have successfully developed learning eportfolios as a way of documenting and
demonstrating your professional and academic growth over time, your curricular and co-
curricular achievements, and applied your knowledge to a wide array of professional and project
weblogs.
Lifelong eportfolios
We encourage you to continue to apply this knowledge to lifelong learning through lifelong
eportfolios. The basic tenet of learning eportfolios - making growth and learning explicit - is
one that can be applied to any professional endeavor. Your skills in documentation through
digital story, narrative, video, images, text, and more, are a sampling of the tools and knowledge
frameworks that you offer the community.
I hope that you will take your learning eportfolio, migrate it to your own blog server space, and
morph it into your own professional eportfolio in order to:
● document professional achievements
● demonstrate your professional growth
● capture transformative moments through narrative and images
As you prepare to graduate, make a plan for migrating your learning eportfolio. Below you
will find instructions on how to do this. Once you graduate, your “student page” on the AAD
Commons, will be moved to an “alumni page”. As soon as you get your new blog address,
please send it to us, so we can keep your information updated, and keep you connected.
Archiving and migrating student eportfolios from AAA Blogs at graduation from the
University of Oregon
The purpose of the learning eportfolio is to capture your learning process while in the graduate
program. For this reason, we would like to archive your learning eportfolio as a demonstration
of accomplishments - similar to the way that scholar’s bank provides a virtual archive of your
master’s terminal research.
The AAD Program requests that students not make content additions or changes to their
learning eportfolios located on the AAAblogs beyond what is presented in this document after
graduation.

2. Students should export a copy of the content from their eportfolio as soon as possbile after
graduation. It is additionally requested that students create a final post on their ePortfolio, visible
on the “home page” or “landing page”, notifying future viewers that the site is no longer actively
updated including information on how and where to locate new information about the author,
such as a facebook page, twitter name, LinkedIn page, etc. The export of content and creating
of a final post should be completed no later than June 30th, 2011.
After graduation student Duck ID and email accounts remain active for 1 Year1. After your
account is deactivated by central computing, students will no longer be able to make changes to
their eportfolio or take action to migrate their eportfolio content to another system.
To Export the content of your ePortfolio for backup and/or migration to another system complete
the following steps.
1. Log into AAA Blogs.
2. Go to the Dashboard for your ePortfolio
3. Click on Tools from the menu on the left.
4. Click on Export.
5. Select any desired content filters. We recommend leaving all selected in order to backup
all content.
6. Click Download Export File and save to your computer.
7. Create a second backup of this XML file on external media as this file will be the only
access you will have to your eportfolio content after you graduate.
