WHY MAKE ONE?
Organization and Planning Students complete a separate template for each experience they wish to keep. The template helps students organize experiences and provides a structure for reflecting on these experiences.
Holistic Development Reflection doubles every learning opportunity- the actual experience plus your reflection on it. Reflection helps develop a deeper understanding of one's total experience and the interconnections among academics, co-curricular activities, community involvement, and personal and career objectives.
Marketing The portfolio encourages students to learn to present themselves in a professional manner. Company and graduate school recruiters think highly of the portfolio for three main reasons. First, the multi-dimensional quality allows recruiters and graduate schools to learn more about your relevant experiences by clicking on the links to second and third-level pages that you've developed. Second, the portfolio is easily accessible to recruiters from anywhere in the world. Third, the fact that you produced a web-based portfolio demonstrates your comfort and competence with computer applications.
Computer Skill Development Students learn to use a web editor and various software applications in the development of a web portfolio.
Accessible Anywhere An advantage of the electronic portfolio is that the student can work on it from anywhere, anytime. The student may also give others access to all or parts of their portfolio (from a student or advisor on the campus, to an employer all the way across the nation or world).
