Traditional portfolios can be cumbersome and generally do not last through the years. However, digital portfolios can not only present your accomplishment with technical flare but have a long shelf life. Oversize paper portfolios can be carried to your interview destination but do not have the capacity to be e-mailed or managed on the web like the digital design.
Susan Amirian, Ed.D, Assistant Professor at East Stroudsburg University and Eleanor Flanigan, Ed.D., Professor of Information and Decision Science at Montclair State University present a step by step guide in learning how to collect and organize items for a professional and dynamic digital portfolio.
They show how to build a resume, use portfolio templates, add and create power point slides and convert your files into PDF format. Once your portfolio is organized, you will learn effective ways to manage and distribute it by placing it on a common CD and sending it for review.
Create You Digital Portfolio also provides examples of successful portfolios created by others to suggest ideas for your own creation. Creating your own protfolio will provide employers a detailed and unique picture of all you have to offer and it is also a great idea to use if deciding to pursue admission into graduate school.
