Steps to build your portfolio

Ensure that you've completed the initial course setup to create your own portfolio from the template.

1. Open your site in Google Sites

   • Double click the Google Sites file “coursename_yourname” (for e.g., EPHE144_JaneDoe)

   • This will open the Google Sites page where you edit your site and build your portfolio

2. View the Updating your profile video tutorial and build your own profile page

   • Create a personal story

   • Feel free to change the format (the template is only a starting point)

   • For an example, see our portfolios: Sharan | Dr. Tim Hopper

3. View the  Changing site theme video tutorial for tips on personalizing your portfolio

   • Change the site theme and design to reflect your personal preferences

   • Create your own brand

4. Hit “publish” on your website

   • In the dialog box that opens, type the name you’d like appended to the site name

   • Your website link will be https://sites.google.com/view/your-name

The portfolio approach is designed to create a customized learning experience for you, wherein you identify and specify goals that are RELEVANT and MEANINGFUL to you based on the course competencies.

1. Go to your portfolio site and navigate to the relevant course

2. Go through the course competencies specified at the top of the page

   • For more information about the competency-based curriculum, click on the links on the page itself, OR visit https://sites.google.com/view/epheportfolioguide/ephe-competencies

3. In the “Competency Goals” section on the course page

   • You’ll see a text box that asks, “What are your learning goals for this course in relation to the competencies?”

   • Replace this with your own goals for each of the three competencies

     • Specify individual goals (at least 1) for each competency

4. Hit “publish” on your website

1. Upload the relevant assignment on your course page in your portfolio

2. In the text box under the upload, reflect on your development in relation to your course goals

   • Be specific in terms of how your session reflections show your progress towards your course goal(s)

   • This is about you thinking about how you’ve developed in a way that is meaningful to you

3. Hit “publish” on your website

Note: Remember that the reflections you offer in your portfolio are not being assessed by me or anyone else. They are meant to help you keep developing towards your own goals, career aspirations, and personal growth. This exercise is an investment in your journey, so please use the space to explore your own strengths, areas of improvement, and contributions to the community.
