E-Portfolio

Research shows that students value assignments and activities that are creative and personally relevant. Also, I want each student to leave this course with an organized resource they have access to beyond this semester. Thus, when you take other courses and try to remember specific terms or statistics, you can always come to your e-portfolio!

An E-lectronic or digital portfolio is an online or web-based item that documents evidence of student learning and reflection. I find that students are able to use and engage with e-portfolios more so than a final exam or paper.

We also live in an increasingly digital world. Online presence through personal websites, blogs, or other content are common. I want to give you the practice of creating your own e-portfolio to develop marketable skills that will help you in the future.

I envision this as largely a text-based e-portfolio with images, but you are more than welcome to record audio or video for reflections or introductions! You can be creative and even use platforms like TikTok! As long as you can embed or provide a link to your e-portfolio, I am open to different formats. I'm also open to other formats entirely as long as you include all the required sections below. Just communicate with me!


You can use a fake name or just your initials if you like instead of your real name! As long as I have the link submitted on Blackboard, I will know it is yours. You can also share it with just me and whomever you like instead of making your e-portfolio public.

  1. Introduction

On the front page of your portfolio, provide an introduction about yourself and this e-portfolio. You can include images, videos, or other media.

You'll submit an initial link to your e-portfolio with intro and pre-course reflection in the first week, but I will grade the intro when you submit your final version in case you decide to edit later.

2. Module Reflections

In total, you'll need to complete 13 reflections throughout the class (weeks 1-12 and 15). These reflections will ask you to think critically about the course content, your experiences while learning, and how the content relates to your prior experiences. You can use the bold prompts as headings (e.g., Module 1 Reflection).

50 points per module, 650 points total counted separately

3. Course Glossary

Throughout the course, you'll be asked to create and add definitions to a course glossary. The terms are provided in each module in the corresponding interactivities. The interactivities will provide the definitions, whether in videos or readings. You can use external sources, but everything you need is in the interactivities. Each week, add the term and its definition to your e-portfolio! You are also welcome to add any additional terms you learn throughout the course!

This glossary is intended to help you track what you've learned over time throughout the class. By having a handy page with all the terms learned, it will help you remember the content beyond this course!

As long as you have all the terms and definitions in your e-portfolio in some format, you'll earn full credit at the end of the term.

4. ASSIGNMENT reflection


Throughout the course, you'll be asked to create your own content, such as your Discord Discussion posts, social media content, Quizizz activities, or infographics. Think of this section as "show and tell."

Pick at least two items you created in this course to share. You can link the content or provide images/videos directly into the e-portfolio. If you do screenshot or copy from Discord, be sure only your post is visible, not other students' posts.

For each item, you must also reflect by answering the following prompts:

What is the item you created? Provide a brief description.

Why did you choose to share this item? Why are you proud of it?

What did you learn in the process of creating the item? How does it relate to the course content?

30 points total (15 points per item)


For this course, you'll be asked to create a large final project. You'll need to present and reflect on your final project in your e-portfolio.

Depending on the format of your final project, include links, screenshots, images, audio files, or photos to show what you created.

Then, reflect by answering the following prompts:

What is the item you created? Provide a brief description.

What challenges did you run into?

What did you learn in the process of creating the item?

How does your project relate to the course content?

What grade do you feel you earned on this final project? Justify your decision using the grading measures set during your proposal.

Optional Content

In addition to the required content, you may also include other content as you wish. For example, you could include any training certificates you earned as part of the class (e.g., Safe Zone, Open Mind).

Setting Up Your E-Portfolio

In the video, I walk you through how to set up an e-portfolio using Google sites, but you are welcome to use any web-based platform, like Google Docs, Adobe Spark, Blogger, Wix, or Word Press.

  1. Create a Google Account (if you don't have one already).

  2. Create a Google Site from a template (any one you like, but "portfolio" probably will be easiest). Customize by deleting excess and choosing a theme.

  3. Give your site structure with different pages for the requirements.

  4. Publish your site!

Be sure to click publish each time you make a change in your e-portfolio! Otherwise, your changes will not show up in the shared link.

Make sure your link is accessible! Click the "share" button at the top, then > "links", then > "change", then "public" OR share with me only: dr.boppre@gmail.com and our course GA: gradassistant.drboppre@gmail.com.
