About Chalk & Wire

In 1995, a group of talented educators and information technologists at the Communications Research Centre in Ottawa, Canada developed the first web-based portfolio, assessment and reporting tool. Since then, that tool has evolved into the sophisticated Chalk & Wire portfolio authoring and data analysis system used today by hundreds of thousands of students, faculty and professional staff at colleges and universities, organizations and K-12 schools, throughout North America and Australia.

This flexible software allows students to easily build any kind of electronic portfolio they desire, as well as maintain their portfolio(s) in a variety of electronic and web-based formats after they graduate or transfer. Additionally, Chalk & Wire provides professional design and support services for effectively implementing these robust applications for assessment, data management and analysis.

In short, Chalk & Wire provides much more than electronic portfolio authoring tools and services. Our comprehensive approach to assessment lets any education professional house and share authentic student work samples and generate valid data sets that inform teaching and learning. The end result is that students grow academically and professionally. In addition, Chalk and Wire’s tools and services support academic strategies and goals at all levels, including accreditation management processes.
