Step 4: ePortfolio and STEM Students
(Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)
Folios have traditionally been used for students in areas of Art, Multimedia, Planning and Architecture (among others) to literally present a showcase of their work to potential employers. ePortfolios take the folio concept to a new level and make it possible for students and professionals in every industry to present their work in an innovative, interactive and creative way.

Activity:
Based on the information presented so far, make some notes about the advantages of an ePortfolio for you.
A good ePortfolio will showcase a diverse range of your experiences - from your curricular (course related) work to extra-curricular involvement, international experiences, volunteer work, links to industry and much more. Use the headings in the worksheet or in the Google Form to brainstorm some experiences you have had that could be included in your ePortfolio.
