Activity 6.1 -  LinkedIn and Google Sites

Eportfolios come in various guises. It could be a LinkedIn profile, a CV, a Facebook page, YouTube and Googlesites are just several examples.

Eportfolios are an electronic format managed by user to show a collection of digital records such as text, files, images, multimedia extracts, blog entries and other tools that technology is creating daily. It is the perfect way for user to promote their skills and achievements.

Eportfolios are extremely useful in the emergence of the digital learning environment, many companies now recruit online, gone are the days of sending a covering letter and a CV by post, CV's are now emailed or uploaded into a jobsite such as seek.co.nz. Training and courses are done online using blogs and websites. Eportfolios can useful to users as it allows them to records their achievements, goals and work experience, this therefore allows them to sell their skills, develop and investigate new ways of learning. Websites such as LinkedIn allow user to join communities with the same interest, follow people of interest and organisations, search and apply for jobs.
