Evaluation

Plan

 

The eportfolio

 

This is an evaluation of the final version of my eportfolio.

 

Outcomes

I created the eportfolio in Word and checked it thoroughly using the following criteria:

·      The whole portfolio has a consistent appearance

·      The navigation buttons are in the same place on each page

·      The layout is logical and easy to follow

·      All the links work correctly

·      Every page loads up quickly

·      Most pages are short enough not to require excessive scrolling

·      Spelling and grammar is correct

 

I referred to my plan while building the portfolio to ensure that all components were included.

 

Suggestions for improvement

It might have been better to have a separate link in the navigation bar for Evidence of development. The Evidence page could be bookmarked for each item.

Each page could have a ‘Back’ button taking the user back to the page previously visited. However, the user could use the existing button on the Internet Explorer toolbar.

The links to Review and Supporting Evidence on each page could go to the bookmarked entry on the Review page instead of to the top of the page each time.

 

Process

I underestimated the time it would take to do the questionnaire, analysis and presentations and I had to adjust my schedule. I also forgot to write down where I downloaded some of the images from and it took a long time to find them again.

 

I obtained feedback on all elements of my eportfolio and responded by making changes where I agreed with the comments.

 

Peer review

 

I showed the eportfolio in class and had the following comments:

 

“It looks good and it’s easy to navigate. Your links work and the pages load up quickly.”

 

“The headings in the navigation bar don’t match the heading on the page you get to when you click. I think that’s confusing.”

 

Action: I thought that was a good point so I changed the navigation bar and headings to match.

 

Plan

 

It was useful to have a plan but I found the questionnaire and analysis took much longer than I expected and I was not able to finish it. I spent much more than 30 hours on the whole project.

 

Setting up the File Structure

 

The file structure worked reasonably well but at first I did not really understand what was going to go in the eportfolio folder. I later put all my pdfs and executable files into subfolders of the eportfolio folder. The index.htm file had to be moved outside this folder before the site was uploaded.
