Portfolio Requirements

This template provides a basic structure for your ePortfolio with allocated pages for some basic content that will be included in everyone’s ePortfolios. Once you create your own portfolio site using this template you can edit it for the structure and look that you desire (see instructions in Using WordPress Tutorials). You will continue to add new content as you progress through the next 3 years. The chart below summarizes content required by the end of this semester.
