2. Briefly describe what you like about 2 ePortfolio. Think about the strengths of each portfolio.
If you have completed a ePortfolio in a previous class (or another school):
- Describe your experience with the tool (ease of use, tutorials used, how long it took to build your pages, etc.).
- Pass along any advice/suggestions you have for using ePortfolios.
3.If you have public content in your ePortfolio, share your URL.
For your Response to at least 2 classmates Ask for clarification (that is, ask questions) if needed.
1.Offer any additional ideas you might have about creating an ePortfolio.
Part 2 : Get ePortfolio Feedback & Share Your Progress
A large reason to complete an ePortfolio is so that you have a place where you can show others your work, whether it’s for transfer to another college or a job. Getting feedback and ideas from others will help you get an idea of what really works well in your portfolio and even ideas about other things you can do to make your portfolio really shine.
Directions
- Post a link to your portfolio with a short paragraph describing:
- What you have done so far on the portfolio.
- Ideas you have that haven’t been implemented yet.
oAny questions or concerns you have that you would like feedback on.
For your Response to at least two classmates Look over at least two of your classmates’ ePortfolios.
- Ask for clarification (that is, ask questions) if needed.
- Make a list of 3-4 things that you like about their ePortfolio.
- Pretend that you are the intended audience for this portfolio (an employer or a 4 year school). Make suggestions for improvements on the following:
- Visual appeal (Do pictures enhance the page? Is the layout easy to follow?)
oContent (Is the content appropriate? Is the writing clear?)
When making suggestions, try to use language that is constructive and polite. For example: You could do X more…; I noticed that there wasn’t a lot of X…; X seemed interesting but I thought you might add Y…
