Portfolio Defined
Imagine trying to condense a summary of your abilities, educational background, and professional experience onto a typed page. Imagine a prospective employer using it to compare your abilities with those of other job seekers. You know that this type of conventional resume inadequately represents your potential as a candidate for the job. In today's competitive job market, students seeking employment in the design and often teaching fields need more than a paper or electronic resume.
A digital/multimedia professional portfolio exhibits an individuals professional skill, growth, and achievement more effectively than an old-fashioned resume.
This site will help you plan, organize, and develop a digital/ multimedia portfolio which will showcase your experience/background and successfully propel you into the instructional design and/or education fields.
A digital portfolio goes beyond a conventional resume. A portfolio is a visual representation of your finest work. It provides visual evidence of your abilities, achievements, and interests. It demonstrates your uniqueness and sets you apart from others competing in the job market. More importantly, a portfolio tells the story of the road you've traveled and the direction in which you are heading.
Although portfolios can be created in a number of ways, this tutorial will focus on the development of digital (computer-based or web-based) portfolios specifically for Instructional Technology Designers and teachers.
