Summary
Today the term "ePortfolio" is used to describe many things. This tutorial was intended to help you develop your own academic ePortfolio which has a specific purpose, targets a specific audience, and includes:
- Selected evidence from coursework
- Artifacts from co-curricular activities
- Reflective annotations and commentary related to these experiences
Developing an academic ePortfolio is a dynamic process because your ePortfolio constantly evolves as you do. For this reason, obtaining feedback from others is a crucial ingredient for evaluating your ePortfolio to help you think through how your message is perceived by others. This type of feedback is available at different levels beginning with using a simple self-evaluation rubric to working closely with professionals. Sources of feedback can include:
- Use the ePortfolio Evaluation Criteria and Indicators to self-evaluate your site
- Obtain feedback from friends, classmates and family
- Work with instructors, advisors and faculty
- Work with mentors
- Work with Career Services
