Example Portfolio Templates

The following sites are examples of template mock-ups that faculty have created to guide their students in the development of an ePortfolio project that aligns with a specific structure. This approach can streamline the grading process, and relieve anxiety for students who aren't sure where to begin. If you'd like to create a custom template for your course, please reach out to otl@du.edu to initiate a consultation.
