Student Overview
What is an ePortfolio?
In an ePortfolio, you can collect, select, build and publish your best work using electronic technology as the container. For many years, universities have used portfolios to assess the level of skill students have achieved in a particular program and as a valuable tool for career connections. Digital technologies are now transforming the ways students may represent themselves and their work to employers, colleagues, and the community.
To learn more about ePortfolios, take some time to watch this brief (6 minute) film from the British Columbia Institute of Technology (created by SF State's Director of Academic Technology, Dr. Maggie Beers).
An ePortfolio is more than a resume - it can be a powerful bridge for professional development - presenting evidence of your academic work, career goals, and personal interests. You may choose to link to any or all of this evidence in your SFSU ePortfolio.
A web-based portfolio will allow you to archive and display a wide range of your work using various types of media (text, MS Word, or PDF files), power point, web-links, audio, video, graphics and other multimedia. As a website or CD, your ePortfolio can also be easily moved, archived and shared with others worldwide.
