Electronic Portfolio

Roger Hiemstra

A Simulation


[NOTE: The following is intended as a simulation of what an electronic portfolio might look like. It is intended for use by Elmira College graduate students in Adult Education as part of their work for such courses as AED 5000, AED 5105, and AED 6000. It only represents one possible approach to the design of an electronic portfolio and assumes that the creator has a personal web page or can utilize some other medium that uses hyperlinks to materials stored on the World Wide Web or a personal server. Individual creativity, design ideas, and approaches to portraying material accumulated both before and during the Masters degree will lead to a wide variety of display possibilities whether electronic or some other form. Several of the linked items below are simulated place-holders used merely to demonstrate what might be possible.]
