ePortfolio Guidelines
Reasons why ePortfolios are helpful and important
1. The ePortfolio will most likely be one of the first visible search results when
college admissions officers or job interviewers look up your name. So, this will be
your first impression; make it a good one!
2. The ePortfolio is a repository for every life-changing event that you may
experience. You will be able to look back and see a concise illustration of what
you accomplished in the past years.
3. The ePortfolio inspires you to have a vision for your future. When you start, you
might be discouraged because it seems you have nothing to share. However, the
ePortfolio will give you a desire to do more. Additionally, you would be surprised
by how much you are already doing that you can put on your portfolio.
Steps toward creating a comprehensive ePorfolio
