What is an E-Portfolio?

A portfolio is a collection of work developed across varied contexts over time. The portfolio can advance learning by providing students and/or faculty with a way to organize, archive and display pieces of work. An E-Portfolio is simply the electronic format that allows faculty and other professionals to evaluate student portfolios using technology, which may include the Internet, CD-ROM, video, animation or audio. Electronic portfolios are becoming a popular alternative to traditional paper-based portfolios because they offer practitioners and peers the opportunity to review, communicate and assess portfolios in an asynchronous manner.

What should be included in an online blog profile?

A well written profile page can give your readers personal insight into who you are,  boost your readers’ belief in your expertise to write about your given subject. A profile page adds a human element to your blog, and finally will give you an opportunity to encourage users to connect with you, in various ways that can help build an online community network that centers around your blog.
On your Profile page you should include

• An introduction, including your name and where you are from
• A statement about why you write your blog
• Your motivations, intentions and goals
• Some personal information, such as: hobbies, interests, experience, education, etc.

Providing options for your readers to connect with you from your profile page is very important. Take the opportunity to give your readers as many ways as possible to connect with you on other online communites to which you belong. Do this by providing links to your online profiles, so they may: bookmark, join or follow you accordingly.
