We will continue creating our blog site by incorporating an ePortfolio. An ePortfolio is a collection of a variety of works developed over the course of one`s academic and/or professional career. It essentially is an electronic version of the traditional portfolio. It is a mobile friendly, easily accessible, dynamic display of your most important documents. The trend now is to blend both worlds - blogs and ePortfolios - in order to highlight and showcase the best of you. We will continue to customize and personalize your VCU WordPress blog by becoming more familiar with the administrative dashboard, the available features and tools, as well as the best strategy to maintain, share, and organize one`s blog and ePortfolio.
