First year Law students engage in face-to-face ePortfolio sessions

Wednesday, April 5, 2023

 

First year students within the Law Faculty engaged in the Digital Academic Literacy (DAL) programme engaged in face-to-face ePortfolio sessions. The lecturers requested that students engage in ePortfolio sessions as they would need to design and develop an ePortfolio which forms part of their BSL101 Final examination assessment. 

During the week of 14 - 17 March 2023, a number of 332 students engaged in the hands-on session with the CIECT team. The lecturers provided a structure of what the ePortfolios should include. 

The students were shown the following:

1. Create a Google folder 

● Upload files and folders 

● Share files and folders 

● Set permissions for sharing

2. Create ePortfolio

● Select a theme [aesthetics] 

● Create main/sub-pages

● Insert content and text

● Embed relevant resources [linked to Google Drive]

3. Preview and publish ePortfolio

4. Sharing of ePortfolio 

Additional support material

CIECT also shared with the students the CIECT YouTube channel that has various resources that assist the students in creating their ePortfolios. Students were also encouraged to email CIECT if they need additional support.

If you would like to arrange such sessions for your students, please contact the CIECT team.
