Creating Your ePortfolio Website
Why an ePortfolio?
The purpose of this assignment is to help you reflect on your learning experiences through reflective practices. The following skills will be essential to your success:
​
-
Utilize metacognition via reflection (i.e. the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes)
-
Create and communicate multimedia representations of your learning journey supported by self-reflection and evidence.
-
Utilize technology (i.e. ePortfolio website) to visually illustrate significant learning experiences
What is an ePortfolio?
ePortfolios are innovative tools to share your learning and expertise with audience beyond the classroom.
At IUPUI we talk about ePortfolios in four categories:
1) Project based,
2) Course based,
3) Degree/program based, and
4) Professional/personal ePortfolios.
