Digital
Portfolios
What is a Digital
Portfolio?
A digital portfolio
is an evolving tool
that documents your
First Year Seminar,
Residential
Experience, and Life
at Albion. It is a
visual guide that
maps out where you
have been, where you
are going and how
you plan to get
there. Your digital
portfolio can also
serve as a tool to
communicate your
plan to others.
What is the purpose
of a Digital
Portfolio?
The purpose of
the digital
portfolio
project is to
allow you to
create a tool to
assist you in
presenting what
you are learning
and planning in
your First Year
Seminar,
Residential
Experience, and
Life at Albion,
and how this
learning and
planning
interconnect.
The portfolio is
as much a
process as it is
a product. It
should be
considered a
"living
document" that
evolves as you
do.
1) My First
Year
Seminar:
Anything
having to do
with FYE
happenings
such as
Common
Reading
Experience,
First Year
Seminar
classroom
activities
and trips,
First Year
Association
group
meeting
reflections,
Academic
Fair, and
how your
first year
at college
is going
academically
so far…
2) My
Residential
Experience:
Anything
specifically
related to
your
residential
situation on
Albion
College’s
campus such
as hall
activities,
making new
friends,
having a
roommate,
etc.
3) My Life
at Albion:
Anything
related to
you
non-academic
and
non-residential
life such as
participation
in student
organizations/clubs,
whether you
are also
working a
job on or
off campus,
what you
like to do
for fun on
campus or in
the Albion
Community,
service
work, etc.
If you have
questions,
please feel
free to
discuss the
digital
portfolio
project with
your mentor
or the First
Year
Experience
staff.
