FINISHED!!

Ok blog, i am officially finished my eportfolio and it is ready for marking... and just in time too!

It is very different from the original information architecture drawing, which Ellen actually said would happen, this is fine as it allowed me to change and adapt to what i wanted to be reflected about myself.

In evaluation, i would have loved to have more colour in my eportfolio, html put a stop to that. Leaving them as word documents were just safer and i would rather it be safe and boring than better but may not work.

I also have included two powerpoint presentations which fingers crossed will also work!

This eportfolio process has taught me a fair bit about computers (even if they dont works sometimes) and i aim to keep it updated so i can use it in the future.

At most times it was a fun process and maybe i am now tempted to set up a my space page. hmmm.

The only thing i am slightly worried about is the fact that it is all public now and i have included rather personal information. I am considering after it is marked to go back and change the files from public to private or logged in users, i appreciate that.

I think that is it, hope you enjoy looking at my eportfolio.

Final revision...

After uploading all files to the ePortfolio site, I tried to browse through all of them and see whether they are easily navigated and well-presented. I ended up deleting all files and modifying quite a few content from all of them, including the font size, and redundant links, etc.

Few days ago, I decided to use HTML format for these descriptive files. They do look much better presented than MS Word format. However, this is a bit of learning curve for me as I haven't touched HTML page designing and coding for very long time. I had ever done some web designing using MS Frontpage application before, but I forgot most of them after all these years. Thanks again to Jess for suggesting CoffeeCup HTML Editor program! This program's interface is very user-friendly and it provides some templates with existing stylesheet formatting. I just picked one of them and inserted my own content in it. In order to make it easier navigated and presented, I also learned how to insert hyperlinks to either link back to ePortfolio site or link to my Flickr page. For anyone who is newbie to HTML, highly recommend to use this program.

The little things that you discover

Ellen was right when she told me that i should try shortening some of the file names. After doing that, my pictures thumbnail came up and now you can see them. The file name was probably too long that's why it couldn't fit the thumbnail picture?

Another discovery that i made the other day and forgot to blog about was that i can change files into pdf using my scanner program. Well, only the documents that i scan of course. I scanned all my certificates and was able to change them to pdf format. yay!

I got rid of a few folders in my information architecture. I didn't have much to put in there i realised so there was no point of it being there for now. Not that i don't have any plans to write up for my 'plans' folder, its just that there isn't a whole list for each section as i had imagined up in my contents inventory. Maybe as time goes by, i will have more plans for myself. At the moment, just trying to make it through my degree.

Thats my little discovery for the day. I already submitted this assignment in but thought that i'd blog about what i figured out today. lol

Huong

edit: i wasn't sure if i was allowed to post up lyrics but i remember hearing Ellen tell someone that they weren't allowed to post up songs unless its their own or they've gotten permission to but they can post up music lyrics. If you can't, can someone e-mail me and i'll take the lyrics off my e-portfolio. I referenced properly though and did provide a link to its' original source. *sighs

Still working more...

Just a note to say i am almost finished (yay!). I just have a few more things i would like to add.

Have only had one problem over the weekend. I have no idea how to make a html file work! I did it all properly (the exact way we were taught) and loaded it successfully however it wouldnt work, i could have just left it however i didnt want to risk it so i have changed them ALL back to word documents. Im a bit disappointed because html files look so much nicer than boring word documents. However i have quite a few other artefacts so i think thatll make it ok.

Learning development through creating my e-portfolio...

Constructing my own e-portfolio has really offered me insights on my past learning experience. I was constantly engaged to contemplate the progress of my learning experiences since childhood through to adulthood. Then it takes me to a level where I had to express these learning experiences in written form for the purpose of representing myself to the public. Being able to represent myself to the public is a learning event itself; therefore I strongly believe that creating an e-portfolio is quite a worthwhile learning experience for me in the long run.

Building this e-portfolio requires collecting a range of artefacts to be maintained for future reference. These artefacts make up my e-portfolio and it was not until I had this subject I found out what artefacts were. The collection of artefacts was not an easy process because I've become aware that they must relate to the purpose of my e-portfolio.

Overall, creating my own e-portfolio for this subject has encouraged me to reflect on my learning and represent myself publicly. It has also gained me more knowledge about e-portfolios as well as inspirations on learning in life.{{file:}}

Finally...

Finally, i finished my e-portfolio. I feel so relaxed because I only have one exam to go, then my holiday is coming very very soon. ^_^ I have achieved a lot experience through this subject, from knowing nothing about e-portfolio to being able to create my own one. While doing it, I had an understanding of copyright, tags and how to upload the files in a right way. Even though my one doesn't look professional, I'm still happy with it, because I know I worked hard and it's my product.

Also, my ability of my problem solving skill has been developed a lot. At first, I didn't know how to use mac system, now, I can use it well and also if I enconter any problem, I will try to fix it out by myself. If it doesn't work, then will ask anyone els help. I like studying new things and it becomes more and more interesting once you are on the right track.


I have got valuable experience by doing this assignment and I am satisfied with it. I hope I will be given more such technical lesson in the future~~~

troubleshooting

I just realised that building a file by word document and then converting it to web page format underlies a major problem. The image I uploaded onto word document won't load once it is placed on the Internet. So the buttons I created as .jpg files for my 'Home' I had to change them to WordArt before adding hyperlinks to them. This same problem occurs again with my photos page and I learned to overcome this by signing up to another website for the storage of photos and linked it to my e-Portfolio. Now they can be accessed and viewed and finally I had a sigh of relief!{{file:}}

Guess im not talented at these kind of things

Being the curious person that i am, i took to exploring some of my class mates' e-portfolios just to get a feel of what im doing right or wrong. Some people's e-portfolios look really "hectic". For example, Georgina and Jess did all this html and coding stuff with their e-portfolio layout. I didn't even think of getting a crash course in that because being me, it will take me at least awhile to learn. I'm not too quick with this computer stuff. Georgina taught me how to change the layout setting for this e-portfolio site. The layout at the moment looks better than before right?

I gave up on trying to figure out all the html coding stuff with some of my documents. I am just going to stick to using word document as outlined in my contents inventory. I guess i can always change things around in the future. I have to keep reminding myself that everything on this e-portfolio can be changed and that i can keep building upon it.

I enjoyed uploading all my certificates because once again, i had to drag myself around the house looking for them. Thats right, i'm lazy and none of my certificates are framed. It brought such memories looking at certificates such as the one i got in year 7 or the one i got when from the Westmead Children's Hospital. That i have to say has to be the most memorable one. Oh how i love doing this e-portfolio and having to look through all the artefacts that did have some impact upon my life or learning experience. *tear. lol

I might be removing some artefacts that were mentioned in my contents inventory. Some i just can't get hold of due to copyright issues and i can't think of a way to work around it. Others, it will take too long to create. However, i do have some artefacts up that haven't been mentioned in the contents inventory. Thats something new i guess. Hopefully people will take to my e-portfolio and won't find it 'boring' or anything. I have personally enjoyed doing this e-portfolio and learning how to overcome the complications. If it wasn't for this e-portfolio, i may never have learnt some things such as how to convert word to pdf, html coding, using mac computers, etc. All in all, it has been a good experience thus far.

Updated!

ok. I have recently updated things I need to do with my e-portfolio and I think it looks really good (so far). I think the audience will get to know me that much better and know my passion for this 'particular something.' I figured that there are some things that I will keep private and some that can only be accessed by logged in users. I modified my resume so that there was no address and stuff. I'm thinking why would they need it? Are they going to come to my house and offer me a job? NO! So a number would do just fine.

I also had to xxx some reference numbers because I got a call from one of my managers a few weeks ago saying some crazy person called her and said the word "job" and "eddie." I was like WTF!

I think that I shouldn't put too much personal information about me because this is an "E"-portfolio which means that anybody in the world can have access to this, even stalkers. I know one thing for sure is that I have learnt a lot of new things about creating this e-portfolio and about myself (I think).

Well it's all updated so now I play the waiting game.

I hope that who ever reads this enjoys this as much as I enjoy creating it.

I also like to emphasise that an e-portfolio is like a rock. It might look dull and worthless on the outside, but if you try look hard enough, you might see things that you would have never imagined of all the things it went through in its lifetime. Do you get what I mean? I don't... but it sounds cool.

ANYWAYS ENJOY!

fine touches at the last minute

After browsing thru some of my classmates' ePortfolios, I had a much better idea on how to make mine look more interesting and well-structured. I decided to use HTML files for all the descriptive pages to make the site navigation easier (thanks to Jess ;) ).

I uploaded a lot of photos to my Flickr site and ended up paying to get a more full-featured account in order to meet my requirements. On the html pages I uploaded to my e-Portfolio site, I then included links to my photo sets on Flickr site as well as other related links.

There are a lot of work involved in building a well-presented e-Portfolio. Since this is my first time, I learned how to use the tools and interface while I was putting bits and pieces onto this site.

This whole process has brought me so much joy by sharing my life/work/travel experiences to my friends and even sharing my photos to everyone else in the world. I believe I will definitely continue building my e-Portfolio and organising my photos via Flickr site.

Copyright issues and ethics

The most important aspect of publishing my e-portfolio is the consideration of copyright issues. These deals with the ethical way I represent my work and represent others' work with acknowledgement. While copyright issues can be a hindrance to sorts of decoration, such as background music, for my e-portfolio, it can be beneficial too as it increases the protection of the materials produced by me as well as increases the credibility and authenticity of my website.

With copyright issues taken into account, I have changed the approach to include work. I tried to keep the originality of my work. For example, I'd design my own wallpaper and avoid using music or picture files that may be created by someone else. But wherever someone else's work is necessary to be included, I'd always reference and link to others' work to make sure it doesn't interfere with copyright concerns of the owners/producers.

I have also learnt to publish materials on the Internet in compliance with a set of publishing ethics:
1. Always reference and link others' work.
2. Always ask for permission before applying someone else's work.
3. Only publish facts and truth - do not mislead readers.
4. Eliminate any form of offensive language and statements.
5. Avoid using opinions and comments that will likely to cause readers to feel being discriminated against.
6. Do not use the website for personal profitable gains.
7. Publish the contents with correct spelling and grammar.{{file:}}

Mirror! Mirror! On the wall . . . - Episode 5 *FINALE*

Have I changed at all? This is the question I am currently asking myself at the end of what is pretty much another school year. Having completed roughly 12 weeks of e-portfolio, I have to admit that it’s been quite a journey, one which has involved a lot of self-reflection and thinking.

At the beginning, this journey had a vague destination and as each week passed by at frightening speeds what with all the assignments, work and life’s problems to worry about. The first stop in reflection for this subject was when we were required to write a digital story for our e-portfolio. At the time, I had very little idea on what I would conjure up, so I decided to stick with a short script, which took bits and pieces out of actual events during my life. Looking back at the script more than half a semester later has left me wondering how much better I am in my current position. Of course, after reading my story again, there’s no doubt that I’ve changed and achieved a fair bit since then, something which I’m proud of =)

Things didn’t get interesting until we had to dig for hidden and buried treasures/artefacts, things which held some sort of sentiment or relation to our learning experiences. Pool was one of the first things which came to my mind as I’ve spent the past year or so playing pool once a week with two of my closest mates from high school. As a result of this treasure digging, it’s quite amazing to see the progress and improvement made from when I first started playing pool at the beginning of last year.

Another artefact I found revolved around my favourite past times of games. In particular, Warcraft 3 was one of those games, which consumed a countless number of sleeping hours throughout the year. And well… this game is damn popular (even now and for a long time to come) and aside from having improved in learning how to play this game, I’ve made a lot of social contacts with other gamers. I think it’s quite something to realise how many millions of people around my age play this game and the endless possibilities of social interactions involved between these people. Guess I also have the internet to thank for that.

A few other important artefacts include my TAFE transcripts and resume. This subject and course in general continued to emphasise the interrelatedness between career and education. And now, my mind is continually being boggled with what sort of career/education path/s I would follow in the future. The photo artefacts were the more touching and emotional part of this journey. Instead of finding a few photos to put onto my e-portfolio, I spent most of the time reminiscing the good times of which all those photos captured =*).

One of the activities we did in class involved finding a piece of music/song, which would reflect what our e-portfolios are about. If I were to choose any song that best represents everything that this subject has taught me from the journey, reflection to the learning experiences and great time I had with class mates, it would be:

Green Day – Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

I’d love to post up and share this song, but that would infringe on copyright HAHA XD

Overall, I have to say that this subject was quite fun as there was always something interesting that would be happening in class relating to our e-portfolios. One of those would be learning how to use the MACs. They are pretty nifty, even though the ones we used were much older than the better-looking and faster white ones I usually see around campus.

Well, hope you’ve enjoyed this series… which strangely enough never actually had a name, but I’ll leave it up to your imagination to come up with one =)

Remember, it’s not the destination that matters the most, but the journey, learning and development that is undertaken, which enriches us. And I reckon my e-portfolio has mirrored part of that journey.

THE END

Woohoo! - Episode 4

Just completed my e-portfolio and spiced up the games and interests section. One small issue is that most of the files on the site are .MHT instead of HTML, which can be downloaded like normal web pages.

The reason for using the MHT format is because all the pictures and links, etc are contained withing one file whereas HTML requires the user to place external links to pictures. So for the sake and convenience of your viewing pleasure, MHT would be more appropriate.

The following sections will contain MHT files:
- Home/Index
- Purpose
- Disclaimer
- Games/Warcraft 3

The other files within the site will follow the usual HTML format.

Also, there is an 'Academia' folder, which contains a copy of my information architecture, 1st eportfolio assignment & my digital story.

On the next episode, we'll be concluding our exciting series, so don't miss the finale!

Reflection

Wow, I just have finished my e-portfolio! I have changed my artifacts little bit, so it has different shape from what I planned before in assignment 1. Through this work, I found that this e-portfolio is very useful and valuable because it allowed seeing and analyzing myself from my past. I spent my effort a lot on making my e-portfolio and currently I am able to handle how to use Mac, PowerPoint, edit word document and how to make my own blog effectively.

I am almost at the end of the first year, and I could get a lot of benefits from this course, BA in Organisational Learning. Each subject was linked to Human Resource Industry, however they have all different aspects, as well as knowledge, which can be used in Human Resource Industry. Managing People and Organisation allowed me to discover how manage the people and organisation in companies and knowledge about bureaucracy throughout my individual essay. Human Resource Development made me to understand how to train employees effectively and efficiently with a variety of methods.

Language, culture and communication has taught me that the way of critic the issue and there are different aspect, culture and communication existing in any issue.

Adult Learning and Work let me realize that how learning operations of adult are different from children and how train them successfully.

It is true that my first year of university was difficult because everything was fresh, which never have been experienced such as university style¡¯s essay, report, group work and exam. Also I was struggling with my English, however with support from my friends and lecturers of university allowed me to overcome these problems. (Thank you!!)

I am going to go the military service in Korea (South) on this December, for two years, therefore I cannot participate to study in University next year (It is so sad but joining military service for two years is compulsory to every Korean men in Korea). However, I will come back since finished my military service, and I am sure that this e-portfolio will be still useful for my professional life in that time.

I have already blog, which is Korean blog cite ¡®Cyworld¡¯. However, it is just for communicating with my friends and uploading my pictures and friends¡¯ pictures. E-Portfolio, on the other hand, making of this made me to express myself, my experience for reflecting myself. That is the reason that it was very helpful for myself, e-portfolio let me know what can I do for my development.

All Done ^_^

I just finished my eportfolio and I have a very large feeling of accomplishement. I worked hard on this assignment, from knowing nothing about html to being able to design (simple ^_^) pages and link them together. I can read some html and pick out and change information. I know how to create, edit, colour and put other tables inside of tables.


I think that I have developed my problem solving capabiities through this assignment through activities such as finding the best way to link my files together. In addition, editing the fiddly parts of coding through 15 html files and aligning them together has definently increased my patience.

This assignment was a very good experience for me and I learnt so much about how websites are made and structured.

Converting to pee dee ef

It is official. My e-portfolio will be comprised with three main section and several sub folders in each. I have started to create my artefacts through word document. However, one thing that has bothered me is that people can change and format of what I intended to put it. I was thinking about copyright laws and how it can affect my piece so I came up with a decision to turn my documents that I created in Word and convert them to a pdf file.

The problem was that I didn't know how to do it. But after searching through google on how to create one, I finally now know. Not hard indeed but it does take some time and patience. Yes google is everybody's friend as it can help you with anything. Google even taught me different meanings of what is e-portfolio.

So some of my artefacts are already converted to pdf and have already been uploaded. I won't have to think about people editing my stuff now, which is a good thing.

I can see that my e-portfolio has gone a through a series of changes and it doesn't look like what I initially intended it to be. This is because of the new things I learnt in this subjec and I guess I can see that change is inevitable. I just need to add some pictures to my e-portfolio so that it won't look boring. Until then, only time will tell.

Last e-portfolio lesson

Today we had our last e-portfolio lesson. I used it to make sure that i knew how to do everything so when finishing it up i didnt have any surprises. So i feel confident in being able to finish it over the weekend.

We reflected a little on what we learnt and had gained from the subject, most answers involved now being able to use mac computers which it seems most people have had the most trouble with.

Oh and i sorted out how to add Ellen as a friend so thats good.

After class i went on another computer to check what mine looked like from an outsider perspective and a whole folder wasnt there!!! I think, when developing it i may have left it on private when i needed to change it to public. That was rather annoying as all the uploading i had done into that folder (which was the one id done the most work in) wasnt accessible. Therefore i had to log in, delte it and start again because i couldnt find a way to edit it. That task was a little tedious as i was re-doing work i had already completed.

Other than that everything is going fine... ill be back to do some more e-portfolio work on Sunday night so see you then!

Copyright, copyleft

So I started going through my Assignement 2 Part 2 of this subject which is a table of all my artefacts that i will be puting in this e-portfolio. It basically gives a brief description, location, format and any copyright issues that may arise.

Ellen (the lecturer) strongly emphasised the importance of copyright issues. That anything that is not yours can not be uploaded onto our e-portfolio unless with consent. That was a big blow as I was going to upload music here but I guess I can't since I'll be breaking copyright laws.

This however, has made me make slight changes as to the format and structure of my e-portfolio. I will not be having a Music folder so an alternative must be made in order to surrogate what what was intended to be there in the first place. Therefore, this has made me very meticulous as what information I will be adding. Whilst it is based on individual circumstances, there are things that may need external sources in order to clarify parts that are not easily understood when expressed by word of mouth such as the automotive section.

Currently, I have now formed the folders that I will need for my e-portfolio and I hope I don't change anything. If I do, then............ GRRRR!!!!

creating my e-portfolio...

Having my own e-portfolio's account provided me with many opportunities to learn to create a website in a whole new way. It is new to me because the websites I made previously were all based on HTML codes. So when I first browsed around in here, I discovered that the functions were much easier to use. For example, files can be created by Word Document and then be converted to web site format before it uploads directly onto my e-portfolio. Moreover, files can be stored under a specific subfolder so it is much an easier process for me to organise them when creating the structure of my e-portfolio. I can also arrange my files in a click according to the pre-designed information architecture plan.

My e-portfolio's account has also enabled another feature which I could add friends and link to their e-portfolio's site. This allowed me to see what others had done for their e-portfolios. And I could see what I was doing that was right and where I was way off track. So all the e-portfolios that I have established links to direct me into the right track when it comes to creating my own. Despite that some had natural talent in making websites with fancy layout and design. I'll just keep mine nice and simple.^^{{file:}}

Reflections

I am nearing the end of my first year at university, and my mum asked me the other day if university has been what I anticipated. I was shocked when I struggled to come up with an answer for her.

I think that I have simply seamlessly moved from high school to university, so much so that I cannot remember what my expectations were for university. I recall being apprehensive about starting and possibly a bit overwhelmed when I arrived for my first few weeks of classes, but I have no recollection of what I expected to happen.

Maybe my lack of expectations was a good thing, or maybe it was bad, but I feel that I have enjoyed myself and have learnt a lot in the 8 different subjects I have had this year, including e-Portfolio.

e-Portfolio especially has shown me that I am not as computer literate as I thought (in regards to Apple Macintosh computers anyway!) and has opened my eyes to new ideas and new ways of sharing thoughts and information, rather than other sites such as myspace and windows live spaces which are much more personal.

I have had some experience with blogging before, which has often been personal and emotional and has resulted in some not so beneficial outcomes. This e-Portfolio, on the other hand, I am determined to keep reflective, in regards to my academic, working and travelling life, and basically reflect on experiences rather than expressing my raw emotions to the world for common knowledge and comment.

In regards to my other subjects this year, subjects such as Managing People and Organisations (MPO), Management Knowledge (MK) and Human Resource Development in Organisations (HRD) have taught me about the way businesses operate, and without these subjects I would not have been able to find out the information that I did. For example, MK has shown me, through two group case studies, that the culture of an organisation can have a drastic effect on the way they share and maintain their knowledge. I would not have known this if I had not been required to research these case studies, and they proved to be an amazing insight into the corporate world and has highlighted the fact that businesses operate differently in the public and private sectors.

Adult Learning and Work (ALW) has taught me much about how the learning of adults differs greatly from that of children, which in turn impacts the way in which training in organisations has to be approached.

Language, Culture and Communication (LCC) has taught me that different sources approach the same subject in vastly different ways, so therefore we need to read each source critically and ensure that we do not take the information from any one source as fact.

Analysing Organisational Learning Needs (AOLN) has shown me a practical insight into a possible career that can come out of this degree, which has been very beneficial to me, as it has shown me where I can be in 5 years time. The group work project that has made up the majority of the assessment in this subject has been very interesting and was a lot of fun to coordinate!

And finally, Work and People (W&P) has taught me a lot about the world of work, and what I can expect as a graduate when I enter the corporate world. It has opened my eyes to a lot of issues that I will probably look into more as the years in my degree pass.

More HTML...

So ... yesterday and the day before, I spent a few hours learning more html. This time, I learnt how to make the sidebar and decoration on the top of the page through an applicaation called 'coffeecup' which I downloaded from the internet for free.

I heard from a friend that I could create tables that would represent the sidebar, etc that I wanted to make. I explored coffeecup and taught myself how to insert, move, put text into, colour the background and remove the visable border of tables. I also learnt to put a table inside of a table.

What I discovered was that html is extreemly fiddly, but not that hard to understand. I spent a long time designing the colour and structure of a page, but then it was really quick to just copy and paste the text from each of the page into the page that I had already done.

At the moment, I am trying to build hyperlinks on the sidebars of each page. The problem is that I have to delete the files from here to update them. When I upload them again, the urls change and my links don't work anymore :( which annoys me because of the work I have to go to to delete, edit and upload 15 files to various locations only to have them not work properly.

Overall though, I am enjoying the experience and challenges. I know that I do not have to upload the files in html format or go to this much effort because e-portfolio is a pass/fail subject but I have wanted to learn some html for a while now and I am glad to have the opportunity, even if it is more work.

Reflection is the key

I'm in my last e-portfolio class at the moment. We just finished reflecting individually and collectively about what we've learnt from the class. I guess i have learnt alot this semester about e-portfolios and what it is all about. For example, just then i learnt from Ellen how to insert a picture into a "html" file. It doesn't seem that difficult but when you click on "view source", all these weird codes come up. Ellen told us to just look for the "img" file and then insert our photo link into there. Hopefully it will work when i get home.

I figured out how to convert a word document to a pdf file. I think its a feature on the mac computers at uni but at home, i would have to somehow get hold of the program. Not enough time to do that at the moment. I am going to just put all my files as word documents and perhaps later on, when i do get the software, convert all my files then. I did do some at uni though but with so many documents, i didn't do it all.

Edit: just got home from uni and i'm trying to experiment with the whole html, inserting picture thing. For some reason it isnt working. I've tried like quite a few times too. I also asked my friend who does all these "coding" type things for web pages at uni to help. It doesn't work for her either. She said it might have something to do with the internet explorer and it might work on another explorer like 'Mozilla'. Now i am getting stressed out. If worse comes to worse, i am just going to upload it as a word document. I might just use html to upload all my photos and thats about it.

Right now, i have to scan all my certificates for my e-portfolio and write up a few more artefacts, then i will be done. *fingers crossed.

Busy Week! - Episode 2

About time I have the chance to spruce up my e-portfolio a bit, so far, I've created all my folders according to my information architecture, updated my profile and uploaded a couple of my artefacts. There'll be more goodies in the form of HTML files and jpegs during the weekend =) After all that, a reflection of my eportfolio and experiences in this subject will follow.

I had work from 12 - 8pm on Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday T_T" It was so tiring!!!

Anywho, off to a party tonight to get rid of that excess stress =) Have a good weekend everybody!

Still going...

So tonight i continued uploading documents, i only did a few as we have time in class to work on it. I will use this time to do so and also to check i know everything else (eg make sure i know how to use html).

Also will have to check with Ellen about adding her to our friends list. I did something like that last week but im not sure it worked...?

Also ive had a look at peoples eportfolio from the other class, and theirs look more professional than ours! They are only a little different but still look a little better.

I feel i am on track and wont be rushing to have the eportfolio ready on time.

Will post again tomorrow in class.
