For the final in TMA 115, your job is to create the template for an ePortfolio that you can use to house the good work you do during your time at BYU. You are free to make your own choices about:
- The blog hosting site (Blogger, WordPress, Drupal)
- The blog design and format
- The name of the blog
- The artifacts you upload now (and later)
- Who will have access to the blog
As this portfolio might be of use to you for your entire career, we recommend that you be professional in your choices. We also recommend that you make the blog access completely public. If you are going to use these as portfolios, they will need to be public anyway. Knowing that anyone can see what you post will also make you extra-accountable for what you create. And it can be used as a social networking tool--we hope you can follow each others' blogs and comment on each others' work as a means towards more collaboration and interdisciplinary work.
You are required to:
- Have in place a clear technique for organizing your artifacts according to the PROGRAM-LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES. We recommend that you tag your posts with labels of the PLLOs. Create a gadget in your sidebar to provide easy access to these labels.
- Make the blog public, or share the blog address with the TMA faculty so that they can review your portfolio throughout your time at BYU.
- Keep the blog updated with carefully selected artifacts.
- Tag these artifacts with 1-2 labels drawn from the PLLOs.
- Contextualize the artifacts with enough information so we get as complete a picture of the work as possible.
We anticipate that you will take it upon yourself to learn how to create a blog, if you don't yet know how to do this. We will provide some basic training in-class, but expect you to do most of the work on your own. The internets are full of instructions and tutorials. Each of you also has at least one friend who has a blog and can help you out. If worse comes to worst, call your little sister and she can show you how.
