Tips to get started on your e-portfolio
Here are a few tips to get started with your e-portfolio
- Make sure you have as much as possible from previous MDE assignments
- Make lists of the following items that you will consider for the portfolio:
- Accomplishments during the MDE, besides completing the courses successfully
- Assignments that you in fact want to share
- Reflections on specific courses and reflections on specific assignments
- Professional artifacts
- Your resume
- Your picture
- Lists of articles that you want to keep as a reference for yourself as you move forward that could be linked to your e-portfolio
- Think about the technology you want to use for your e-portfolio. Visit Barrett’s list of e-portfolio tools: http://electronicportfolios.org/categories.html, http://electronicportfolios.org/web20portfolios.html and http://electronicportfolios.org/blogs.html
- You will need to also decide (as you choose your tool), where you want this to reside (what server).
- If you wish to use UMUC’s server, you will need to use an account inside Nova (server). You will then have to develop a website, which could be with any html editing tool, and have it published to the server via ftp.
- Remember that you can start working on reflections and pieces of your e-portfolio, without yet having a final place for the e-portfolio. The final place should be where everything will hang together.
