Electronic Portfolio



     All the students may need to prepare a good resume and bring with them carefully selected portfolio to present on the day of job interview. You may have very little idea what they looking for from you and whatever you chose may still not be enough to attract your boss hire you, the problems may simply be what you present to them is not what they want and what actually you hide from them may be actually is what they hope to find in you. How can we avoid mistake like this? I think E-portfolio could be one answer.
    E-portfolio assembled all the academic works students accomplished in their school years and give those potential employer a good overview of the job seekers. Potential employer could scan through all the courses that students took in their school life in a pretty short period of time. If they find some knowledge and subjects are pretty important for a position, they could just simply click on the that and get to know the students detailed performance in the courses. Besides, E-portfolio could also help potential employer to get to know the job seekers better in depth, to know their family background, interests and all sorts of information.  Moreover, teachers and students to be able to assign and hand in assignments on-line in the E-portfolio should be considered as another advantage too. Furthermore, students could find links placed by teachers to get more information for specific subjects or assignments.
     A potential problem would be any technical major problems could bring immerse disasters to both students and teachers. Students’ loss could be irreversible. Besides, having all the academic information online would exacerbate plagiarism. Some students may simply go to find whatever they need for an assignment from previous students E-portfolio.
