Describing Digital Portfolios


1.     What is a blog? What is a wiki? What is the difference between them?
A blog is a site set up on the WWW, specifically run by one or more users on a chosen topic. Other users can view, comment their thoughts and learn from the project but not change the content. A famous blogger website is www.blogger.com
A wiki is a website also on the WWW, not run by a specific user / group of users. The information is usually for educational purposes and can be edited by anyone. A famous wiki is www.wikipedia.com

2.     What is an online Digital Portfolio?
A digital portfolio is a portfolio stored online. The data can be put in creative ways like videos, screenshots, audio recording, pictures, etc. instead of writing. People are able to view it and see your accomplishments throughout your work.

3.     What are the three important features of a digital portfolio?
-          Eye catching
-          Informative
-          Organized

4.     List one advantage and disadvantage of a digital portfolio?
Advantage: People are able to see your strengths and may want to employ you for an important job.
Disadvantage: Others can view your personal information.

5.     Find a digital portfolio that you like, hyperlink the URL and describe the strengths and weaknesses of this portfolio.
Strengths: The blog is put together very cleverly and creatively. I really like how information is expressed with the charts and that the portfolio is interactive.
Weaknesses: The only weakness I found was that the information wasn’t very particular or detailed.


6.     Discuss the portfolio and the things that leave a positive impression on you.

In my opinion, the best feature of the portfolio was the design and organization. The sufficient information was there together with the fancy design. Again, it is interactive which a great idea because not a lot of digital portfolios have that.
