	Classroom assessment measures, in the past often limited
	to multiple-choice and standardized tests, now can
	involve the creation of portfolios, or collections of
	pieces of work which the student selects as the best
	representation of his or her efforts, progress, skills,
	and accomplishments. Portfolios also usually include
	teacher evaluations and student self-reflections and can
	come in several varieties: (1) "developmental" portfolios
	document improvement in a designated subject area; (2)
	"teacher planning" portfolios allow teachers to gauge the
	ability levels of an incoming class; (3) "proficiency"
	portfolios can be used to determine graduation
	eligibility; (4) "showcase" portfolios can assemble the
	best work done across an entire educational career; (5)
	"employment skills" portfolios can collect assignments
	that demonstrate work readiness; and (6) "college
	admission" portfolios can be solicited by admissions
	officers to judge an applicant's potential for success at
	a certain academic institution. To solve problems of
	storage space and of collecting assignments in various
	media into a cohesive whole, many schools have begun to
	store portfolios in electronic form on floppy disks or CD-
	ROM. Software aids like Roger Wagner Publishing's
	"HyperStudio" and Claris'"FilmMaker Pro" are highlighted,
	and examples are given of a high school in New York that
	has implemented an electronic portfolio program.
