Many individuals use electronic portfolios to collect, store, and highlight their academic and professional accomplishments

Writing Jun 29, 2020

Many individuals use electronic portfolios to collect, store, and highlight their academic and professional accomplishments. Portfolios go beyond traditional resumes and transcripts to really document and provide concrete examples of achievement and specific skills.

For your final assignment in this course, you will start your electronic portfolio. Then, in your future Excelsior courses, especially your Capstone course, you will be asked to update and add to this portfolio so that by the time you graduate you will have a well-rounded portfolio that reflects your diverse strengths.

What is Portfolium?

Portfolium hosts an ePortfolio network that provides students and alumni with a digital repository to creatively compile and showcase their respective educational (and work-related) competencies, skills, accomplishments, and experiences. It is a free interactive resource that also serves as a professional network. You can watch a one-minute video introduction to Portfolium entitled A Digital Portfolio Platform (Links to an external site.). You can see examples of exceptional portfolios in different disciplines through Porfolium’s Discover page (Links to an external site.).
