ePortfolio
Directions (Using PowerPoint)
Purpose:Mountain
View College (and the DCCCD) are using an electronic portfolio system to
“make learning visible”. The purpose of the ePortfolio (using
PowerPoint) is for you to demonstrate visually that you are learning the course
outcomes. In other words, you are “showcasing” and “reflecting” on
your best work that relates to the course goals and what you are proudest of
this semester. For example, one of our learning outcomes is for you to develop
your critical thinking skills. Therefore, what assignment this semester
demonstrates your best “thinking”? It can be an assignment from any
recent class (not just Learning Framework). You would upload the work into your
“artifact” page of the ePortfolio. Then, next to the artifact, you’d
“reflect” on the work such as writing about the purpose of the
assignment and how completing this assignment helped you to develop your
critical thinking skills. The ePortfolio is a new concept for Mountain View
College, but the goal is for us to use it into the future as you continue next
semester and beyond. Remember: “Nothing is easier than to have the experience
and missing the meaning!” COFFIN. Let’s not forget the meaning of our college
experience!
Please start your project early as you don’t want to get behind. You will NOT
submit your progress week by week, but you will submit the final ePortfolio on 12/4.
Also, be prepared to share your ePortfolio with the class in the eCampus Blog.
You will also present your ePortfolio to a small group in class during the last
week of the course (more on your presentations later). So get started on the
home page…
FYI—Remember to consider your audience…don’t cram everything into
one page. If you need more space, simply create another slide…. You want people
that view your ePortfolio to read it easily!
FYI—This is YOUR ePortfolio so ADD to it beyond these basic
requirements if you want. There are no limitations!
Slide #1
“Introduction” Page (s): This is where your ePortfolio opens—the
first view people will see. Briefly introduce yourself and include a picture or
symbol that relates to your life and/or career direction; and, state the
purpose of the portfolio. Remember to express yourself and show us who you
are!
The introduction has many basic elements: Name, where you were born, current
location (do not include your full address), your major/career
direction, personal mission statement, interesting famous quote, one or more interesting
facts about your life; and, state the purpose of the portfolio.
This is the homepage. You might put a page breakdown at some point in the
first slide.
*Use the mission statement that was developed in class!
Slide #2
“GOALS”: This page is all about your future. Goal-setting
puts you in the driver’s seat and lets you know both where you are going and
how to get there. Remember goals start with “I will….”
Organize this section into FIVE parts:
1) Long-term goals that relate to your college major, degree plan,
transfer school, grades, classes, etc.
2) Long-term goals that relate to your career direction.
3) Short-term goals that relate to your personal life for this
semester.
4) Include or add a link to your “Quality World” assignment.
*Use the SMART goal criteria in your work.
Slide #3
Link your Learning and Personality (essay #2) to this slide and give a short
description of what you are stating in the assignment. Include what you learned
about yourself and how you can use the information to create a more successful
“YOU”.
Slide #4
Link your Behavior Change Project essay and give a short synopsis of what
you worked to change, the process used for creating your new positive behaviors
and the overall results of your efforts
Slide #5
Upload picture (s) or something that represented your best thinking and
writing this semester. You can use an item from your work in class or an item
from another other class, then “reflect” on it and write a short synopsis of
your work.
For PowerPoint use “inset” and “object” and “Microsoft Word”.
