Part 2

Given your educational and career goals, an e-portfolio is an effective tool for gathering evidence of your learning and showcasing your skills for a variety of audiences. The creation of an e-portfolio is an optional but valuable component to your educational career. Regardless of whether or not this is a tool you wish to adopt, mapping out the components of an e-portfolio can assist you in identifying potential skill areas to showcase to employers or other professionals.

In this short paper, you will create a brief “map” of an e-portfolio. This map should include the following:

· An introductory overview of you as a professional. This should be one to three paragraphs and should highlight the personal and professional goals you have established in your academic plan of study.

· A possible photograph or image (e.g., an illustration, an avatar, a work of art that relates to your professional identity and personality) to include in your overview

· A list of three to four potential “pages” in your e-portfolio that you wish to include and a description of the type of work you wish to showcase on each page

Your pages can be aligned to the content domains you identified in Module Six or can include other broad headings that will organize the artifacts you wish to include.

· A brief discussion of possible platforms to host your e-portfolio. What platform would you choose and why?

Note: At their discretion, instructors may perform an originality check on submissions using Turnitin.
