ePortfolio Tips

Overview

Welcome to this tutorial on how to set up and navigate the ePortfolio! Throughout your journey

in the BA Psych program here at SNHU, you will be asked to reflect upon your learning, your

perspectives, and your future career direction in your coursework. Your

ePortfolio will be a tool

that you access within every course of the program- an opportunity to reflect on aspects of

your personality and lived experience, and how those elements come together to help you

thrive within the professional setting.

Your ePortfolio is designed for you to showcase relevant coursework to recruiters and

prospective employers in your chosen field. Therefore, think of it as an opportunity to not only

highlight your academic success, but to show how you can leverage your knowledge and

skills to

communicate and collaborate within a team dynamic or as a leader in the workplace. And

remember- although the ePortfolio that you build from course to course is ungraded in

PSY-108, it will become a graded part of each of the other eight courses in the BA Psychology

program.

Setting Up Your ePortfolio In Brightspace, click on the Tools chevron and select ePortfolio. This will take you to your

ePortfolio Dashboard. On the right panel, in the section titled Build Your ePortfolio, click on

New Presentation.

On the New Presentation page, you will complete the information in the four tabs shown:

Properties, Content/Layout, Banner, and Theme. Note: Do NOT use the back or forward arrows

allow instructors to complete graded assessments and add comments.
