Connection to Future
Learning

Reflections illustrate the ability

to effectively critique the work
and identify areas for
continued learning.
Navigation and Readability
The organization of the
eportfolio and how to navigate
to various sections/pages is
clearly indicated.

Page layout (including

headings, font size and color,
whitespace, and other text
formatting make the eportfolio
and artifacts easy to read.

Writing is clear and free of

grammatical, spelling, and
punctuation errors.

critique work, and
include goals for
continued learning
(long and short term
The various parts of
the portfolio are
labeled, clearly
organized and allow
the reader to easily
locate an artifact
and move to related
pages or a different
section.

Color, background,
font styles (italic,
bold, underline) and
type size for
headings, subheadings and text

NOTE: By looking at
your ePortfolio I think
you should go and read
the rubric in DocSharing
and maybe that will
help you develop a
better webpage. Also
Dr. Wolfe asked for the
assignments to be
embedded not
downloaded.

generally function well,
but it is not always clear
how to locate an artifact
