I am writing about Fatimah Ashgar’s film for various publications and I wanted to share a verbal description of Retrieval, for those who might be visually impaired and for those who might not be able to view the film when they are reading or accessing the article. Below, please find my description of “Retrieval.”

The openness a portfolio allows with its public display and easily accessible form, encourages re-visiting, and another layer of growth that is not often there with the dropbox mentality behind other learning management systems. With these learning portfolios, it is easier to reflect upon work again and build that reflection into part of a process, so that the learner can see and summarize changes, growth, and lessons learned throughout the course of a semester – and hopefully beyond.
