The model
FYS students will be provided with prompts and some required pieces to place in their portfolios
Certain professors might add to these required components
Students may decide to use their ePortfolios for other, non-required selection and reflection
Students will hopefully continue to add to and use these ePortfolios after their first semester

Peer Mentor ePortfoliosModels for FYS
students
Your ePortfolio should be a model of what an ePortfolio can evolve into after the first semester.
You should update regularly, use standard English and consider your audience.
Each document you upload should be accompanied by a reflection.
Utilize and experiment with wordpress features to encourage students to do the same.
Good for you, too
You will become adept at using wordpress very quickly.
Your ePortfolio should be an authentic space where you craft a useful site for future academic and professional opportunities.
Reflection might open up new pathways/ideas for your development.
You will have a built-in archive of key documents for future reference.
