ePortfolios can be described as digital collections of artifacts, a good academic ePortfolio also represents a process – specifically, the process of generating new or deeper learning by reflecting on one’s existing learning.
So what is an ePortfolio?
An academic ePortfolio is a digital collection which is viewable online created by a student of their course-related work, it can include essays, posters, photographs, videos, and artwork; Academic ePortfolios can also capture other aspects of a student’s life, such as volunteer experiences, employment history, extracurricular activities, and more. In other words, ePortfolios document and make visible student learning. please see your assignment or tutor for specific requirements of what your e-Portfolio should contain.
A good ePortfolio is both about being a product (a digital collection of artifacts) and a process (of reflecting on those artifacts and what they represent). ePortfolios exist online and support student learning. With an ePortfolio, the student is in charge: the student decides who can view the ePortfolio, what artifacts get added, how it is designed, and so on.
How do I make an ePortfolio?
As an ePortfolio is an online portfolio you will need to build a webpage to showcase your work. There are many ways to do this, Adobe Portfolio, Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, even social media etc, and if you are already using such software elsewhere you can make your ePortfolio that way. However, for most students it is likely that making an acedemic ePortfolio is a new experience and in that case we recommend Google Sites or Mahara.
Google Sites
Google Sites just requires a google account and allows you to simply build, publish and share your ePortfolio online. You can include text, images, presentations, and video from Youtube (or your own video as long as you've uploaded to Youtube first). Sites gives you complete control of your ePortfolio and allows you to showcase to employers after you've graduated.
How do I use Google Sites?
Our Youtube Channel has video tutorials for using Google Sites and Mahara here, just click the links to view the videos:
