This post demonstrates that with this type of electronic portfolio a post graduate music student can keep a record of the different versions of their software applications, widgets and application interface designs and store them as learning artefacts.

The rationale for this Idea was to see if a post graduate music student could upload their music files, that they created as part of their creative practice, to a commercial provider such as last.fm. The idea was that by using  last.fm’s streaming media and api’s the post graduate music student could upload their music and have it played by last.fm’s social network users.

The artefacts below demonstrate how a post graduate music student can control the sale of their creative products as they could make a financial arrangement with last.fm thus enabling  the post graduate music students music to be sold , which the post graduate music student would be able to control. In addition to greater access and control the the post graduate music student to would be able to receive feedback on their work and thus increase their musical knowing and improve the music design and practice.

To use the widets click on the play button. If you click on the radio station play button and it says “sorry not enough content” this means that the last.fm servers are a little overloaded so please come back in a little while. The widgets below do not work in Internet Explorer and have been designed for Firefox 3.0 or above. The widgets also do not work in any sort of virtual terminal session. These widgets are very experimental and are only here as an example of what is possible in terms of music-mash-ups which can be integrated into an electronic portfoilo system such as this one.
