WELCOME TO THE E-PORTFOLIO PROJECT
Dr. Brown and Dr. Scharff sincerely hope that you will find creating your e-portfolios a
rewarding experience. We are looking forward to assisting you in showcasing and
publishing your accomplishments while in the ‘Thinking through Computing’ learning
community.
WHAT IS AN E-PORTFOLIO?
An E-portfolio resembles the original concept of a portfolio, except that your work will
be submitted electronically, i.e. the results of your efforts will be an online collection of
your work. The E-portfolio will allow you to showcase the work you’ve accomplished in
the ‘Thinking through Computing’ learning community by including various class
assignments and projects, and reflective logs, highlighting your educational activities.
Your E-portfolio will be an opportunity to capture the distinctive characteristics of your
work. Further, once you begin adding files to your portfolio, you will be able to share
your accomplishments with others - your peers, professors, and potential employers.
Additionally, your E-portfolio will be a work-in-progress as you will be able to add to
extend it to other courses throughout your career.
WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF YOUR E-PORTFOLIO?
The first page (a web page) will be a presentation page and will serve as a table of
contents and guide the reader to additional information. It must contain at least:
- Your name,
- Your e-mail and address,
- A list of courses you are taking (you need to provide the course number, course
title, CRN, credit hour and a link to the course web page if it has one),
- A description of the ‘Thinking through Computing’ learning community,
- A link to the Pace University web page,
- The logo of Pace University,
- A link to Blackboard,
- A link to WeBWorK, and
- Organized links to the other pages of your E-portfolio.
The other pages of your E-portfolio will present:
- A description of the application software you developed in Visual Basic for the
‘Learn to do Truth Tables’ project and a link to the user manual of the software
you wrote
- A reflective log where you will describe your learning community experience and
elaborate on the links between CIS 101 and PHI 153 (maximum 2 Word pages)
- A review1 of the movie “Pirates of Silicon Valley” where you will share your
thoughts about the movie (maximum 2 Word pages) OR a review of the
Broadway show “Proof” where you will share your thoughts and elaborate on the
title of the show (maximum 2 Word pages) [For extra-credit you can do both]
1 Two examples of movie review are provided.
