Module 8 Assignment

ePortfolio

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. Here are several examples of how electronic portfolios can be used

For your final assignment, you will start (or add to) an electronic portfolio that can be used to demonstrate to others the knowledge, skills, and abilities you have developed throughout your academic journey in the psychology program.

This final assignment will integrate the information you have learned throughout your degree program, and highlight the products and achievements you are most proud of. Your ePortfolio will be an example of your multimedia and writing skills. You will create an ePortfolio in Portfolium (Links to an external site.) that can serve as a foundation for your ongoing work. This week, your work will focus on the communication of specific career competencies in the form of products you’ve created throughout your academic journey.

This activity addresses module outcome 4. Upon successful completion of this activity, you will be able to:

MO4: Demonstrate evidence of skill sets desired by psychology-related employers. (CO5)

This activity aligns with the career competencies of digital technology and career management.

Instructions:

There are no set rules about what to include in your digital portfolio. It can be as broad and comprehensive as you like. For this assignment, however, your electronic portfolio needs to include the following components in order to earn maximum points:

– Welcome. Summarize who you are and what can be found in your ePortfolio.

– Career objective/profile. Write a specific and clear statement.

– Résumé. Summarize your education, achievements, and work experience. Include detailed information on your skills. You can keep this simple for this assignment.

– Artifacts. You must include your project for this class. All other products are optional, but this might be a good time to collect your samples of videos, presentations, papers, and letters of recommendation.

You might be asking, “How do I use Portfolium?”

First: Log in to Portfolium (Links to an external site.) Because you are an enrolled student at Excelsior College, you should already have an account. Simply enter your email and MyExcelsior password to login.

Next, follow the three steps (Links to an external site.) to get you started.

When you “Add Project” in the third step, simply title it “Capstone Assignment”. This is where you will add all your “artifacts” if you decide to upload other projects or evidence of your skills. Be sure to “Publish” your project.

Finally, “share” your portfolio with your instructor. You may “Save as PDF” from your home profile page on Portfolium and then upload to your assignment, or you may share your personal Portfolium link which can be found under your Name (see image).
