Organizing Your e-Portfolio

Creating Sections and Pages


Before adding content to your e-Portfolio, plan the structure of your e-Portfolio. Also, remember that you can create more than one e-Portfolio with your account, so you do not need to fit all your projects or content into one e-Portfolio.

What sections would best represent the work, information, topics, or achievements that you will present in your e-Portfolio. Within each section, what pages will you need to organize your content. You can modify these sections and pages later, but you need an initial structure to get started.

Adding and Editing Sections


To add or edit your e-Portfolio sections, make sure you are viewing your e-Portfolio in Edit Mode. Then click the Add/Edit tab. To add a new section, click on the Add
Section button at the right on the Add/Edit tab.

In the Section name field, enter the title of the section you are adding, and click the Save button. To add another section, click the Add Section button again..

To add sections with customized Web page addresses or sections that you do not want
to display within the e-Portfolio (Hidden Sections), click the Show Advanced link.

To customize the Web page address of the section you are adding, complete the
displayed Section address.

To hide the section, click the Hide this page check-box.

To return to the page at which you can add sections without customized Web addresses, click the Hide Advanced link.

To edit an existing section, click the icon to the right of that section name at the bottom of the page.

Changing the order of sections


You can change the order of sections by dragging and dropping a section to a new place in the sequence. A red dotted line indicates the area where it may be dropped.

Adding Pages


To add e-Portfolio pages:
1. Make sure the Edit tab is highlighted.
2. In the View Sections area, click the section to which you want to add pages. In
the following example, the section About Me was selected.
3. In the View Pages area, click the Add/Edit tab. To add a new page, click the
Add Page button at the right.
4. Enter the page name, and click the Save button.

To add another new page, click the Add Page button again.

In the preceding sample screen, the pages Education and Interests have been added
and the page Hobbies is ready to be added.

To add sections with customized Web page addresses or sections that you do not want
to display within the e-Portfolio (Hidden Sections), click on the Show Advanced link.

Editing Pages


To edit an existing page, click the icon to the right of the page.

Changing the order and priority of pages
You can change the order of pages by dragging and dropping a page to a new place in
the sequence. You can also create a sub-page by dropping a page in an indented
location, as shown in the preceding sample screen..

Adding and Editing Modules


To add or edit content within your e-Portfolio you must be in Edit Mode. Select a section and a page within your e-Portfolio for which you want to add or edit content. In the following sample screen, the section Courses and the page Art History are selected.

You can use any combination of the following two options to structure the content of your e-Portfolio pages.

The basic building block of structuring a page is a Module. Modules define what kind of content can be added and also the layout of this content within the page. You can add multiple modules to a page for flexibility in how you customize the presentation of your work.

Adding Content to Your e-Portfolio


There are several types of Modules from which to choose:

Image/Video Module
The Image/Video module enables you to display a single large piece of media, such as
a movie or an image.

Rich Text Module
The Rich Text module provides a rich text area that can contain formatted text and
display links, files, and images in-line.

Gallery Module
The Gallery module gives you the flexibility of presenting multiple images on a page, using thumbnails or simple numbering across the page to link to large images. Each image has a rich text caption field as well.

Contact Form Module
For added security and to avoid unsolicited e-mails, the Contact Form module enables
you to be contacted through your e-Portfolio by email without publishing your email
address.

You can choose multiple modules for each page you create. The variety of layouts
enable you to choose ones that will best present your work.

Adding a Module to a Page



To add a module to a page:

  1. Select the module type to add. In the following sample screen, the Image/Video
    module has been selected.
  2. Click Add This Module.
  3. Click Done.


Module Options



After you finish adding a Module of any text or media type by clicking Done, several
buttons and tabs are available as options.

These buttons are at the top of the page:

  • Add A Module: Add another module to the current page.
  • Publish All: Publish any saved media or text modules to your e-Portfolio. This is especially helpful when there are multiple modules on a page.


These tabs are in a row below the buttons:

  • View Media or View Text: Display your saved but not published module content.
  • Edit: Add and edit module content.
  • Publish: Publish a specific module within your e-Portfolio.
  • Delete: Erase the module from the page.
  • Drag to reorder: Rearrange modules on a page.

Exercise: Achieve Success by Challenging the Myths


1.    If nothing changed in your life over the next 5 years, would that be okay?
2.    If you answered No, then by default you have acknowledged you need to change something. List some of the circumstances you would like to change in the next few months and years.
3.    If you are living on purpose and feel connected to your interests, then self-motivation is not required. If you need to be motivated, determine why you do.
4.    Don’t limit your expectations, just because some people don’t believe you can have it all. Having a successful business does not mean you cannot have a successful family or recreational life.
5.    If you are really living on purpose, your life can change form but not the core substance. If a complete shift has occurred for you, that usually means you were not connected to your Source or purpose to start with.
6.    Yes, you can have faith and your own will—and not be in conflict.
7.    Getting rich or fixed quickly is rare and a myth. Be ready for a more subtle and consistent growth curve.
8.    Achieving success means not only taking action but understanding reality, instead of myths. To make sure you are living on purpose—based on real information and strategies—get My Source Experience Journal ™ to start you on the right track.
9.    Know yourself. Understand your primary needs and preferences, then build a life around them.
10.    Achieving success means avoiding the myths and embracing true success strategies.

Interview Questions


  1. Everyone's so stressed these days.  Can you give us a bit of advice on how to assess stress caused by work, personal relationships, social situations, health and nutrition, and time?
  2. I find your assessment approach appealing because you deal with the whole person - mind, body, work, relationships, etc. How did you become interested in this holistic approach to assessment?
  3. Your approach to assessment reminds me of Eric Berne's approach to Transactional Analysis (TA). Like you, he is of Canadian origin.  He believed the layperson could understand and manage psychological issues without going through psychiatrists (who were too expensive for the average person).  Unfortunately, that got him barred from the San Francisco Psyhoanalytic Institute.  He went on to become a best-selling author and world-renowed psychiatrist.  Like Berne, you are a renagade, of sorts, in the field of assessment.  You bring carefully thought-out assessments directly to the end-user.  How do career and other support practitioners fit in?
  4. You provide an affiliate program for your assessments.  What does that consist of?
  5.  Current best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell, in his book Outliers, says mastery in any profession takes about 10,000 hours (20 hours a week for 10 years). Before this interview, you mentioned that Gladwell's comment relates to the affiliate program. How does your relationship with career practitioners relate to Gladwell's concept of mastery in a profession?
  6. Assessments were such big money-makers in affluent times. Where do you see assessments, specifically holistic assessments,  going in the current depressed economy? 
  7. I've worked most with your entrepreneur assessment tools, both hard copy and online, mostly with the Personal Style Indicator, Entrepreneur Style and Success Indicator and the Stress Indicator and Health Planner.  I like them because they are well organized and include activities that the user can do to apply what they learn about themselves from taking the assessments.  I also like them because my clients and career practitioners in my workshops find them valuable. What do YOU believe is special about your assessment approach?
  8.  Can you give us a brief exercise to assess our stress and that we can give to our clients to help them manage stress?
  9. Could you summarize how to assess stress caused by work, personal relationships, social situations, health and nutrition, and time and how to reduce your stress you you can be successful?
