Technology Media Piece
Introduced in the Video & Tracking section of this guide:
This is the second of two media assignments that introduce the animal biology portfolio.
The portfolio has two features:
1. demonstrates your mastery of the nine course outcomes
2. constructed so you may use it beyond this course
In this media assignment you will select a possible format for the final portfolio.
Steps for this media piece assignment:
1. Watch the video below that previews portfolio format considerations.
2. Look over the nine outcomes again if needed, they are listed in more detail at the link provided below.
3. Brainstorm possible portfolio formats to display your work. Consider:
-
what will best display your mastery of the nine outcomes?
-
what format will be something you may want to use in the future?
4. Be creative. For example, you could arrange your work in a space and give a video tour of the three pieces you have representing each outcome. Or you could make a presentation with different slides showing your work. Or you could plan your own “Animal Biology” museum with different galleries representing the outcomes and displaying your work.
5. Upload to Canvas a description of the format you are thinking of using. Include why you chose this format, including why you think it will be an effective format to display your mastery of the course outcomes and why you think you may use the selected portfolio format into the future.
Note: You can alter your portfolio format as you construct it if you come up with a better idea. This assignment gets you started on the process.
Watch this video; you can select the closed captioning “cc” option if you would like to see the text.
Not sure what portfolio format will work best for you? Since the portfolio will be a collection of your work representing the nine course outcomes, looking over those outcomes can help spark an idea.
