Audience+and+Genre+EPortfolio

**__Getting started__**
Hello fellow NJIT students! Today you will be reading a survival guide to get you through making your very own eportfolios! Eportfolios is a nice way to show off your past work from previous classes, or maybe work from a current class. Creating an eportfolio is a nice way to get all of your work submitted, on display, and have it all organized. With an e portfolio you can design the site to look however you want, it is your own style and twist of showing off your work. To get started with making the portfolio, you need to login to moodle with your ucid and password. Once logged in, you will see on the right hand bottom a tap that says efolio. You need to click on this tab and it will ask you to create an account. Follow all of the required steps, and when registration is complete, it will bring you to the home page window. Your are now logged in! To rename the tabs which will be on the top of the portfolio, right click on the names tab, and click properties. You can then rename them to whatever you desire. If you want to add content to these pages that you just renamed, it's really simple. On the left hand side you will see an education tab, click on that and then activity. You have to give the work a title and then you can add all of your text. Now that you have put all of your information into the template you have to click on my content on the bottom of the left hand side. You will then see the text you just created and then you have to click on what page you would like the text to go to. You then drag the file onto the main part. To add any files or urls is basically the same way. Go to the upload or web tab on the left hand side. Upload the file and then drag it to the main part of the eportfolio. Make sure any files you upload are PDF! That's really all there is to it! You can then save your work and view it, or if you wish to change the background you can. For your first one I'd advise to stick with the background template they give you. I hope this will give you a better understanding of what you have to do, and that my step by step directions were good! It was my pleasure.

**__Audience__**
My audience for this portfolio would be freshman at NJIT. This was made to help them get through their survival at NJIT. The transition from high school to college is always a big one, and sometimes people just need a little help. The genre for this portfolio is for STS and also work from previous classes, but you can make one about any subject you wish. I have included step by step instructions on how to create one, and have also shared my link at the bottom for you to look at. Use mine as a model while you are building your own.
