Final e-Portfolio Information (due Friday of Week 4)
For your final project of this course, you will create a professional e-Portfolio. A professional or career e-Portfolio is created to help you stand out from the crowd. The goal is to personalize your resume, education, philosophy, and written artifacts from the course to leave a positive impression on the those who view your work. e-Portfolios can be posted publicly or privately depending on your goals. For this course, you may create the portfolio in one of two ways:
Blackboard Portfolio Option – You will build the items using Blackboard’s portfolio tool. Use the model portfolio as your example. You will have access to this portfolio after the class finishes and even after graduation for a short period of time. While this option provides privacy, it does not have a modern, sleek look that some students like. You will choose to “attach” your e-Portfolio when submitting.

Wix Portfolio Option – This is the encouraged option as it provides a modern, sleek look that students as well as employers like. All of the services you need are free, and you have the option to use this long after the class finishes. However, this e-Portfolio offers limited privacy options. You will provide just the URL of your Wix page as discussed in the “Portfolio Resources” area on the left. Be sure to provide the public link.
Requirements: In total, 10 items should be contained in the e-Portfolio. These are listed below. The list below shows eight pages plus two additional artifacts. Artifacts are letters, memos, emails completed in your weekly writing assignments. You should choose two artifacts that reflect the areas such as positive messaging, promoting diversity, you attitude and positive emphasis.
Your e-Portfolio should also give attention to visual presentation, graphics, media, and so forth. It should be personal and professional, as you will use it for your major project for this course. Following this course, you may continue to use your e-Portfolio. Here are some of the ways former students have used it:
An e-Portfolio to include when asked for a “website” on a job interview
A means of documenting career advancement and successes
A means of training individuals in their field
A public repetoire of information available about your career field
