Orlando, FL, October 18, 2005
– Nuventive, a leading provider of Individual and Institutional
Assessment solutions, today announced the release of iWebfolio
version 3.0. Developed using the latest Web Services technologies,
iWebfolio 3.0 delivers the most advanced electronic portfolio
capabilities in the market today. The latest release of iWebfolio
incorporates powerful new features for a wide range of different
users, from Portfolio Owners to Reviewers to Administrators.
For Portfolio Owners:
From powerful new content development tools, presentation features,
desktop editing and the ability to easily upload and use web
projects or entire sites, iWebfolio 3.0 delivers a dramatic
new approach for creators and owners of electronic portfolios.
Advanced Content Editor for Maximum
Design Flexibility:
iWebfolio users have been telling us that they wanted even greater
ability to design, create, and edit visually compelling content
for their portfolios. iWebfolio 3.0 takes content design to
a new level with the introduction of iWebfolio Inspire Design
Suite which allows users to embed images, link to other iWebfolio
files and external resources, and use fonts and colors in creative
new ways. These new features offer even greater flexibility
and control over the design of each item in the portfolio.
Flexible Presentation Layer Enhancements:
iWebfolio 3.0 has introduced a wide variety of new formats and
color schemes to choose from when presenting your content. Pick
the style and approach that best matches your needs.
Improved File Management:
iWebfolio 3.0 introduces new and easy to use ways to store and
manage all the files in your portfolios. In addition to the
ability to manage files and folders online, users now have the
option to drag and drop from the desktop using new WebDAV technology.
Creating and managing portfolios has never been easier!
Easily Upload Web Projects/ Sites:
In iWebfolio 3.0, users can upload web projects (websites /
html pages) created using other applications such as FrontPage
and Dreamweaver, thus enabling even more design creativity and
flexibility. Now you can upload an entire site and present it
through your portfolio.
Custom (External) Reviewers:
The new iWebfolio 3.0 provides great new features for interacting
with people who review your portfolio. Now you can define the
number of times individuals can view your portfolios and when
those access rights expire.
Public Portfolios - New Approaches
to Communicating Ideas:
Users of iWebfolio 3.0 can now easily publish portfolios to
a public area. When there is no need for formal reviews or feedback,
this is a great way to provide broad access to your information.
For Reviewers and
Administrators:
iWebfolio 3.0 also delivers new advanced features for reviewers
and administrators. With the introduction of iWebfolio Inspire
Design Suite, Nuventive’s unique content editor, portfolio
templates and rubrics can be easily created and distributed
to help organizations adapt the solution to their needs and
drive broad adoption. Organizations using specific templates
now have the ability to guide portfolio owners to use specific
features of the application. And new administrative capabilities
for distributing and resetting passwords or access allow large
groups or institutions to quickly adopt and deploy iWebfolio
3.0. You now can brand the application with your organization’s
logo so your users recognize your customized version of iWebfolio.
“iWebfolio has been used at SUNY Oswego
has been using iWebfolio since 2002”, said Dr. Josephine
Farrell, Associate Professor, School of Education, State University
of New York College at Oswego. “We are very pleased with
the enhancements in the recent release. I believe iWebfolio
