This document provides instructions for an e-portfolio assignment for an intro to design course. Students are asked to create an e-portfolio to reflect on what they have learned from their course assignments, projects, presentations and activities. They must upload samples of their work and write reflections demonstrating critical thinking about what they learned. The e-portfolio will be assessed based on the quality of reflections, fulfillment of requirements to include all assignments, and the clear layout and ease of navigation of the portfolio.

Introduction
E-portfolio is a valuable learning and assessment tool. An e-portfolio is a digitized collection of artefacts
including demonstrations, resources, and accomplishment that represent an individual, group, or institution.
This collection can be compromised of text based, graphic or multimedia elements archived on a Website or
on other electronic media such as CD-ROM or DVD. An e-portfolio is more than a simple collection. It can
also serve as an administrative tool to manage and organise work created with different applications and to
control who can see the work. E-portfolio encourages personal reflection and often involves the exchange of
ideas and feedbacks.

This e-portfolio assignment will concentrate on the reflections of what the students have learned from the
assignments, project, presentation and maybe activities. Students will need to up load their assignments or
projects and to include critical and intellectual reflection of what they have learnt from the particular
assignments, presentations or activities. This is part of the Taylors Graduate Capabilities initiatives. Each
student MUST submit and pass the e-portfolio component to PASS this module.

Tasks - Methodology
Each student is then required to create an e-portfolio. Students are required to scan and upload their work
before submitting their work. Then students are required to write their reflection on what they have learned
from the particular assignment, projects, tutorial session, journals, presentation or activities. Students are
encouraged to research on how to produce a good “reflection” e-portfolio as the reflection should be original
and have some critical thinking.
Submission Requirement
Students are required submit their e-portfolio link on week 9 and again as a final submission at week 18.
Students are required to upload scanned documents of their work or digital files, videos, and slides etc
of their assignment to the e-portfolio. This is a formal document however the students should make it
interesting and easy to understand. Documents are able to be scanned are better off scanned rather than
uploading it as picture(s) of the document.
Students may use any website however it must be accessible and name it as;
“FNBE 0814/ YOURNAME”
TIPS: Do write information such as; the introduction of project, the process, the requirements and
instructions, duration, team name, team members, issues related, obstacles and solution in the process of
finishing the project, the final outcome (5 min presentation?, a video presentation?, A4 document). Why do
you learn from the project or assignment? It is best to write about the subject and content of the subject.
