In response to your question, the advice you are receiving on starting your e-portfolio right away is correct.
I am an instructor at Lethbridge College and graduated from Royal Roads in a degree and masters program. One of the requirements from RRU was the development of an e-portfolio to leverage a Prior Learning Application for several course. I was tasking courses at Athabasca at the time and used their system as it is one of the better ones out there.
In one of my courses I teach E-Portfolio development and this is the 10 steps i provide to my students...
Starting an e-portfolio involves several key steps to effectively showcase your achievements, skills, and experiences. Here's a guide on how to begin:
Define Purpose and Audience:
Choose a Platform:
Gather Content:
Create a Structure:
Choose a Design and Theme:
Write Descriptive Headings and Summaries:
Include Visuals:
Add Reflective Statements:
Proofread and Edit:
Test Navigation:
Publish and Share:
Remember that your e-portfolio is a dynamic tool that can evolve as you gain more experiences and achievements. Regularly update and refine it to keep it current and aligned with your goals. A key message if I have any, keep information updated as you never know when that perfect opportunity will arise. You can adjust your intro page and information to fit for a specific job easily.
Good luck with your studies

]]>I just started my eportfolio setup using google sites. I created a website with my eportfolio but having a challenge copying and pasting my hyperlink so that when I share it in my group, they just need to click on the web page to go directly to my eportfolio. I would appreciate any help and advice on how to do this.
thanks

]]>I have updated the sharing to all athabasca users so hopefully you can now search for my portfolio and see it.

You can share your ePortfolio by adding additional groups/users to your Portfolio Collections. Here are some instructions to set this up:
(1) Click on the “Portfolio” tab in the top navigation bar.
(2) Select “Shared by Me”. This will display a list of all your ePortofolio collections.
(3) Click the lock icon under the “Edit Access” column.
(4) In the “Share with” dropdown menu, choose the specific groups or users you would like to share your ePortfolio with. It is recommended that you choose “Athabasca University” (group) or “Users” (here you can type in specific user names, such as your course instructor’s name). You can also choose to share your ePortfolio with an internal AU group before releasing your final ePortfolio to the public.
Hope this helps!

I taught the eportfolio course for the last several semesters but I am not teaching it now. Have you asked your instructor for feedback?
Best wishes,

How do I access your artefact to provide feedback?

A professor recommended I take a look at the list of competencies for the ePortfolio completion and get started on demonstrating my achievement towards those. I don't know where I can find that list. Does anyone have the latest list?
]]>I went to your link but can only see you introduction page. Is that all you have posted? I am trying to complete mine and I am not sure if I am on the right track. Would you mind helping me?

Thanks.

Thanks
