But, how should a teaching portfolio look? What documents should it contain? What media must it display? We will explore the answers to these questions as we build our final AC230 projects. Our goal will be to create multimedia online teaching portfolios. These are referred to as ePortfolios or simply eFolios. We will learn a number of ways to create eFolios. You will then select the software most comfortable to you.
