Project 3 – E-portfolio

Project 3: E-portfolio

Create a site that will highlight your resume and professional accomplishments on the MIS community (http://community.mis.temple.edu). The new site will have a permanent URL and you will be able to include that URL in your paper resume. The goal of this site is twofold. 1. Create a presence online so that people interested in your particular set of skills can easily find you. 2. To serve as a professional “portfolio”. Think of this site as being more formal than your Facebook page but more creative and open than your printed resume or LinkedIn page.

Project 3 Phase 1 and 2 are due June 17th end of Day.  There are 2 parts to this submission.

 In order to submit this assignment you will post a comment at the bottom of this page with the following information: Last Name, First Name and URL.   The example if I were posting my blog would be: ( Latko, Jonathan  http://community.mis.temple.edu/jlatko)  You must log in to the Community Site in order to post a comment. If you post your assignment after June 17th, it will be considered late.   2nd: You must email me you URL and a screenshot of you Google Analytics setup.

Here is a more detailed version of the assignment:

This project will have  3 phases to it.  You will create an ‘e-portfolio’ for yourself, using WordPress and the Temple MIS Community site.  This online professional resume/portfolio of yourself will be available to internet users.  The landing page of your e-portfolio will be a blog page where you can post messages.  Follow the directions to include all the necessary parts.  In Phase 2 and 3 of this project you will then learn how to use Google Analytics to measure and analyze the data and traffic your e-portfolio ad generates.

All students need to begin building their Community E-Portfolio site early in the semester.  It takes time to build a good e-portfolio, and you don’t want to wait until the last minute.
