Describing Digital portfolios


What is a Blog?

It is a Web site on which a person or a group of users record opinions, information, etc. on a regularly.

What is Wiki?

A wiki is a website which allows its users to add, edit, or delete what they created using web browser.

What is the difference between a Blog and a Wiki?

A blog is a personal space for discussing your point of view opinion. It could be regarded as analogous to working memory, where you toss ideas around and, if you're lucky, test them against your peers through a process of dialogue.

A wiki, on the other hand, is a collective space for sharing knowledge (or at least information). It could be analogous to long-term memory, where you store all those things that you've tested out and are happy with for now. A wiki is website for expressing your knowledge

What is an online Digital Portfolio?

A digital portfolio is a place to keep evidence of an individual’s growth or development over the years. It is organized collection of artifacts and reflection that shows the users expansion in knowledge and skills over the time and its content completely depends on the purpose it is used for.

What are the three important features of a digital portfolio?

It is durable which means it lasts long and is secured, allows team work so different people can work together and it allows student and teacher interaction, that’s good because if the student needs help he/she has teacher to help.

One advantage and one disadvantage of a digital portfolio.

Disadvantage: A portfolio needs constant updating to include the most current projects and this makes it very time consuming.

Advantage:  It is online so people can share ideas and work together and if someone is stuck there will be many people to seek help from.

Color: This online digital portfolio is my favourite because it has different color shades and the colors are really bold. The color is also useful because they make it easier to see the text and it is easy to differentiate what part is what.

 Headings: The headings of this online digital portfolio are very bold and are easy see. It is big and has nice bright color to it.

Organization of images and Texts:  As you can see the online digital portfolio is split into half. The upper half has images and few big bold words and the bottom half is only text therefore it easy for the person to understand the digital portfolio and it is easy to find things in the digital portfolio plus he also put the upper half a different color and the bottom half a different color so you tell where is the text and images.

Web design: The web design of this online digital portfolio is very unique; I think it would attract people to see it how he made some of the images tilted and how he used a good combination of colors and how on top of the portfolio he made it look like stars and he mixed different images together.

Content: The content is very good it describes a lot about him and is very detailed and everything on that portfolio completely relates to him.

Weaknesses: This online digital portfolio I think could be improved by firstly some of the words on the upper half are very hard to see because of the color and he could have added a little bit more creativity and that’s all I think needs to Improve.
