There are several digital tools that can be utilized to create an ePortfolio. Many students use websites, blogs, and presentation software to showcase their work. The links to the finished publications are shared with individuals for viewing and feedback.

Tools for Building an ePortfolio

There are several tools that can be accessed to create an ePortfolio. The choice depends on your preference and the works you wish to display. Please know that the creation of websites, blogs, videos, and flipbook programs will require that you create an account. Make sure to read through the Terms of Service to determine how your personal information will be shared. You might also be required to pay a fee if you wish to utilize advanced features. If you are using Office 365, you can create an ePortfolio using PowerPoint adding the transition for Page Curl, Peel Off, or Drape to create a book effect. Other presentation programs like Prezi and Emaze will require registration for an account.

  • Website - Increases visibility and online presence.
  • Blog - Allows for feedback from viewers.
  • Video - Brings the candidate to “life”.
  • Flipbook - Creates the visual effect of a book.
  • Presentation Software (Office 365 PowerPoint, Sway) - Creates dynamic presentations without the need for account creation.
