Creative Hive is an online platform designed for creative students at the University of Salford to share their work and projects. It is accessible on mobile devices and allows students to create personal spaces to showcase their work. Over 200 creative students from different disciplines and institutions have joined Creative Hive so far, posting blogs and projects. Literature suggests that arts-based courses are more likely to utilize e-portfolios. While 58% of users found Second Life motivating for joining, time and technology were cited as barriers to greater participation. Recent developments include international students and connections between Creative Hive and other creative communities.
