New Media 10 Final Portfolio Assessment

During your time in the New Media class you will be working on a variety of assignments covering a wide
range of media and audiences: video, podcast, written, and image. As a way to demonstrate your
learning in the various competencies outlined within the course guide you will be compiling all of these
different projects into a single digital portfolio. The goal of this portfolio is to represent your work and to
represent the growth in learning that this work both represents and facilitates.

Platform:

Ultimately the platform is up to you, however, it must fit a few criteria, please be mindful of the
following when selecting the tool of your choice.

Your portfolio must:

 Be digital
 Function in a non linear manner
 Have the ability to host a variety of media content
 Be accessible to yourself and others
 Be highly customizable
 Function as a means to demonstrate learning and growth in a creative way
 Not require a guest to login

Requirements:

As a representation of yourself and your learning you need to think of your portfolio as a means to “sell”
your learning, your identity, and your work. You can apply any number of skills you developed
throughout your time in New Media 10 including creating Vlogs, Podcasts, Video Essays, or Written
Texts. The design of the portfolio and the means you use to communicate your learning function as
assessments of your developed skills in New Media 10. Be creative but be mindful of the following
suggestions.

 Have a homepage that briefly explains who you are

 Ensure that there is a level of professionalism and an academic nature to your presentation
 Ensure that your portfolio is easily navigated without your assistance
 Link your learning to specific competencies in the curriculum
 Make sure that you provide examples of your learning rather than just talking about them

Process:

 Reflect on and gather all of the work related to this class that you have completed to this point
in the semester
 For each artifact (item that you have worked on) provide
o A brief description of the artifact
o Examples of a few competencies from the New Media 10 course you met while working
on this artifact
o Justification and explanation of how the process met these competencies
 Begin to create your portfolio by choosing a platform and creating pages
 Begin adding your description, completed competencies, and justification to your portfolio in
any meaningful way you choose
