Use a tool that you are comfortable with to create your presentation portfolio. If you have experience creating Web-based material with a particular tool (e.g. Dreamweaver, WordPress), then use that.  Remember you may want to continue to update your portfolio once you leave the University, many professional organizations require them. Choose something that you will have the ability to maintain.  If you are new to creating Web-based material or would like to try something different, a tool to consider is Google Sites. Because the University is a Google Apps institution, you will have continued access to your mail, documents, and sites after graduation.

There is a lot of good documentation already on the Web to help you get started creating a site. Here is a simple “Creating a presentation portfolio using Google Sites” document that you may want to read first. Also available to you is a sample template you can use and edit to meet your needs. To preview or use the template, log in to Google Apps, click on Sites at the top, click Create a new site. Click on the link “Browse the gallery for more” and listed will be UD available templates. If you click on the Sample Presentation Portfolio, you will be able to preview or select it. Then finish creating your site.

It is really important to talk to your faculty member or advisor about what should be included in your portfolio. There is some basic guidance available in the template, but your instructor or advisor may have specific recommendations that pertain to your profession.
