Showcase portfolios are designed to display a learner's best quality of work. This might be to highlight student success, or to showcase a variety of accomplishments a student has achieved over a period of time. In showcasing a student’s work, this portfolio allows them to describe and tell their own story. Designing this type of portfolio requires creativity and individuality. |
A portfolio a student submits to a teacher would include a representation of course work and projects, while a portfolio for a job interview would highlight skills and qualifications. This is why it is important to consider the audience when creating these showcase portfolios. Students are sometimes encouraged to keep portfolios similar in design, because a particular institution might require that all portfolios have similar features for consistency. In this case, there is a fairness factor amongst the compilers. Often however, breaking from the norm shows creativity and makes each showcase more interesting and personal. |
