In Unit 4, the main task was to design a web folio. Unlike a formal report, there is no uniform template for a web portfolio, and it can have different designs depending on the purpose and audience. Since I have never had any experience designing a web portfolio, the whole process was very challenging for me.
The process of designing
According to the instruction of Unit 4.3, our first task was to determine the audience. As this folio focuses on the assignments in ENGL301, the primary audience is future peers interested in technical writing. Then I sketched the site as below, following the textbook with seven pages. I have chosen to transform my ENGL 301 blog into my Web Folio due to WordPress’s flexible layout style and ease of transition, without moving the bulk of my documents but just revising for perfection.
The Final Web Folio
I put all my revised pieces into my web folio with the storyboarding. I was very proud of myself when I finished this folio. It has been a difficult transition from full-time work to campus again. This web folio is like my work for this course.
The Future
By learning the proper way to communicate and write within a technical setting, I am confident that I can effectively succeed in the future, wherever it may be. I have enjoyed ENGL 301, and I highly recommend it to others as the class teaches you fundamental communication skills.
