Shippensburg University



Online Portfolio (20%)A major feature of our class will be an online portfolio created using Wix, a very easy, user-friendly website building program. You’ll read about various types of portfolios over the next few weeks, delineating different kinds of portfolios based on different purposes. My purpose for this class is to have you begin the portfolio that you can continue to build on and adapt as you move through the University. As you read more about the portfolios, you'll understand more about the goals of this kind of online portfolio and what should be put on the site.To get full credit, the portfolio must contain at minimum three pages: one describing our work in this class with links to your final paper and one other from our class; one "About Me" page, which should be both reflective and forward-looking about your goals; and a basic resume page. We will begin working on this starting in the second half of the semester with a formal proposal (5%), and you'll present your portfolio during our exam period (5%).Because you have already evaluated websites, you already have a good sense about what a quality website should look like, and I expect that you will incorporate those qualities into your own site. Thus, we will be paying attention to things like navigation, design, color scheme, and links quality, in addition to good writing and strong content. I will supply the class with a basic rubric to grade an e-portfolio, which we will revise over the next several weeks so that as a class we decide what matters most in this project.Below are some links to get you started reading: good basic overview. Start here! first three pages are required reading! Page 4 gets a little off track, though it talks about design (we’re using WIX templates, so keep that in mind if you begin reading page 4 on design. site doesn’t mention WIX, though it discusses wordpress (which to me is too much like a blog). A good overview. ................
