During this final week, you will create the framework for your ePortfolio. Not all student ePortfolio frameworks will look the same, nor should they. Some may be designed by using Microsoft Word, as offered in the template, while others may use Microsoft PowerPoint or a Web-authoring software such as Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, or Microsoft SharePoint Designer. You should choose the best software option to meet your own personal needs.
Some of the work you already have completed for this course will be assessed as part of this Application Assignment.
In this ePortfolio framework Application Assignment, include a cover page, a purpose statement, and your autobiography Web page. The ePortfolio framework should also contain placeholders for future portfolio entries. You are encouraged to make this ePortfolio framework as robust as you wish.
