1. Create  a  new  ePortfolio.  Name  it  EMS  470.   2. Create  the  five  sections  listed  above  (Executive  Summary  through  Links).  Those  

will  provide  the  navigation  on  the  left  side  of  the  ePortfolio.   3. Create  the  pages  for  each  of  the  sections  as  described  above  under  each  section.   4. Additions  that  you  make  to  each  page  will  consist  primarily  of  typing  the  content  

into  text  boxes  and  uploading  existing  documents  or  other  file  types.   5. Provide  the  URL  per  the  ePortfolio  instructions  in  the  assignment  within  your  

course.     A  sample  ePortfolio  following  the  guidelines  above  is  available  at:     https://blueline.instructure.com/eportfolios/19553?verifier=9vR2DpszIMtj1HljVugATgb hXg8drddj1fYslNOf     Most  content  has  not  been  added  to  this  example.
