Book Title: ePortfolios: A Guide for Writers

Book Description

ePortfolios: A Guide for Writers introduces students to ePortfolios as dynamic spaces for writing, reflection, learning, and professional development. Designed primarily for students in writing courses, the eBook explores how ePortfolios extend the traditional portfolio genre and create rhetorical spaces where writers make purposeful choices about audience, content, design, and evidence of learning. Through explanations, activities, discussion questions, and student case studies, readers learn how to select and reflect on artifacts, demonstrate their knowledge about writing, apply rhetorical theory to ePortfolio design, and consider ethics, accessibility, and appropriate use of generative AI. The eBook also examines how ePortfolio practices can extend beyond the classroom by helping students articulate their learning, develop critical thinking skills, and communicate their experiences and abilities in academic, professional, and real-world contexts. The final chapter connects students with UCF resources that can support the continued development of their ePortfolios.
