The final assignment of this course is to create a Web Folio highlighting my personal achievements, as well as the works I have done throughout the course. The first problem that I encountered was trying to figure out who my intended audiences are, and it was a difficult process. The purpose of this WebFolio is to highlight my skills that are relevant to a specific audience. Ultimately, I decided to highlight my experience because I plan to start my internships very soon.
The process of creating my Web Folio was enjoyable. I decided to further elaborate my personal blog that was used throughout the course on the UBC Blogs website. I learned that it is important for the Web Folio to contain an understandable structure and a readable style. This is important because a Web Folio interacts with the audience, and it provides a refreshing and creative way for the audience to explore your content. I also learned to use good visuals to polish my writing. After all, I intend to create an attractive and engaging Web Folio, and an interesting platform for my audiences to explore and learn about me and my skills.
On the other hand, there were moments where I found this assignment difficult. Ever since the beginning of the course, I had trouble understanding how to access UBC Blogs, and the difference between a page and a post. It was difficult to present my work in a way that I desire due to formatting issues. Therefore, the process of learning how to use the UI of UBC Blogs took me while. The artistic side of my creativity is not my strong suit, and therefore I worry that the outlook of my Web Folio is not presentable and pleasing to the readers.
Overall, I enjoyed this process of creating my own Web Folio to showcase my achievements and skills. Although it seemed like a difficult task to complete, the outcome was not too difficult to achieve. I enjoyed making this Web Folio because it forced me to look back at the course and realized my accomplishments along with the knowledge that I have learned. This assignment will benefit me in the future because in my field (computer science), a web page to showcase my past projects is highly recommended. Thus, I can use this experience of creating the Web Folio to make my own personal web page.
