WHY EPORTFOLIOS?
EPORTFOLIOS CONTRIBUTE TO ACADEMIC SUCCESS
THINGS TO REMEMBER
GENERAL TIPS
SELECT ONLY THE BEST OF YOUR WORK AND EXPERIENCES
Your eportfolio needs to display your best work, not all of it. Be selective and choose the
artifacts and experiences that best represent your skills, knowledge, and interests.
DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF TO ACADEMICS OR INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Show yourself as the well-rounded person you are. Include your volunteer work, artistic
skills (music, photography), and general interests.
CHECK YOUR GRAMMAR AND WATCH FOR TYPOS
Wix does not have a built in spell checker. You MUST write the text in a word processor
and then copy and paste it in Wix.
MAKE YOUR EPORTFOLIO VISUALLY APPEALING
Add images and videos featuring your work. Make sure that your eportfolio invites others
to browse and read about your work.
KEEP IT PROFESSIONAL
Unlike other social media (Facebook, Instagram), your eportfolio is a formal
representation of who you are. Do not include anything you would not want an employer
or professor to know about you.
REFLECT
Your eportfolio needs to demonstrate your global knowledge, intercultural competence,
and your ability to think critically. Your posted reflections will allow others to see your
multifaceted talents and abilities. When you write your essays consider including two or
three of the following questions:
What did you learn?
What about this experience was the most useful to you?
What would you recommend to others about getting involved in this program? What
suggestions would you offer?
What area of your life was strengthened or improved by this program/experience?
List the ways in which you have grown as a result of this experience/ program
What problems did you encounter? How did you overcome them?
What risks did you take?
What experience in this program demonstrated your strengths and talents? Why?
