ePortfolios: Components
Visual
Like most documents, ePortfolio design should consider layout and graphics as much as text. Some webpage design aspects to consider include the following:
· Colour: Choose colours that are engaging and professional and enhance the reader’s ability to easily see and engage with your text and images.
· Font: Ensure it is readable and professional.
· Icons: Use icons to highlight particular transferable skills so that your reader can easily navigate to content that they are interested in.
Many ePortfolio design websites will have templates available that offer pre-arranged visual choices. It is still up to you to evaluate those elements to decide whether they suit the tone, message, audience, and purpose of your ePortfolio. Many websites will give you the option to change these features.
Textual
There are a number of places within your ePortfolio where you will be including written elements. Here are some of the key components:
· Header information/introduction: Just as with a résumé, you should include your name and contact information in a visible space. Make it easy for your reader to contact you!
· Headings: Headings should be as specific as possible and help guide the reader through the hierarchy of your website
· Reflections/project descriptions: For each project you choose to highlight with an ePortfolio entry, you should consider including a written identification of the project/purpose/outcome, as well as the transferable skills learned while completing it.
Artifacts
The artifacts you choose to include in your ePortfolio will depend on the type of ePortfolio you are designing. Some examples of common artifacts include the following:
· Photographs (of projects or of your completing tasks)
· Video/audio clips
· Graphic data (charts, spreadsheets, timelines, etc.)
· Certificates (volunteer work, languages, academic awards)
· Memberships in organizations
· Transcripts
· Diplomas
· Newspaper articles
· Writing samples
· PowerPoint slides
· Technical licenses
· Awards
· Letters of recommendation
