In the video above, Mandy explains how writing reflections for her ePortfolio helped her enhance her learning. 

Notice how the following WatCV career and competency eportfolios focus on the articulation of professional, transferable skills combined with evidence of these skills. Although some may spotlight the same skills, their stories and the evidence they provide highlight each student’s individuality. Take a moment to listen to Eric Van Dijk describe how the WatCV activity helped prepare him for a successful interview.

Although they use different approaches (and ePortfolio platforms), they are alike in embodying the student's reflections on his or her learning while at the same time showcasing his or her achievements.   

  • Anson Chan. In his ePortfolio, Anson reflects on his past journey of growth and transformation at the University of Waterloo and beyond, and also looks ahead to his future plans for career and personal success. 
  • Emily Sutherland. Emily developed her ePortfolio for an Arts and Business course (ARBUS 200). The instructor asked students to use their ePortfolio to present their unique selves in a creative and professional manner through design, artifacts, and reflections. 

If you're a student at the University of Waterloo and would like to have your ePortfolio featured on this page, please contact Katherine Lithgow.
