Project 3: Electronic Portfolio Assignment Description CIS 110

For this assignment, you will create an electronic portfolio that showcases your work from this semester
and the process by which you have grown as a communicator. Your portfolio will be created
electronically, using your choice of platforms. This portfolio should be a professional representation of
who you are, and should be appropriate for a broad audience, including potential employers.
Your portfolio must contain:
a. Introduction to the portfolio, centered on its purpose, content, and navigation (written for a
broad audience)think of this as the front page.
b. Exploring culture essay
1. Initial draft with comments
2. Version submitted for grading
3. Revision of submitted version, aimed at improving the essay
4. Reflective essay (at least 300 words) that highlights how the essay changed and
evolved throughout the semester. You should address your writing process, what
influenced the changes you made, and a final assessment of the relative strengths
and weaknesses of the paper.
c. Portraying culture speech
1. Outline
2. Reflective essay (at least 500 words) that reflects on the success of your speech,
including both content and delivery. Your reflective essay should discuss how well
the content of your speech came together in order to meet your purpose, an
assessment of the actual delivery (based on viewing a video of your speech, if
available), & a discussion of how you can further improve your speaking abilities.
3. Video of Speech if you have it
d. Minor assignments and in-class work as directed by your instructor (may be a digital
reflection connected to final essay)
e. Reflecting: Final essay (at least 500 words) that explores what the portfolio says about you
as a student and communicator. You may choose to reflect on aspects of the course such as
what you learned from exploring another culture, what you took away from looking at
popular culture examples, and how you see the content and skills of this course affecting
you beyond this course and your academic career.

Your portfolio will be graded based on the content as well as the visual design of the
portfolio. You may use templates from whatever platform you choose, but think carefully
about the navigation of the website, overall organization, and visual impact. All listed
elements must be included. Submit the portfolio through Blackboard by inserting a link to
your portfolio in the appropriate assignment. Your submission on Blackboard only needs to
contain the URL to your portfolio; be certain the portfolio is publically available (e.g., not
behind a password)
