Process of Creating My Web Folio
The Web-Folio is the last assignment of ENGL 301. It gathers all the work that I have done throughout this semester. Before I started on my web folio, I struggled to identify the intended audiences and the purpose of the web folio. However, after some research and consultation with peers and Dr. Erika Paterson, I decided to create a web folio for future ENGL 301 students and others eager to improve their technical writing skills. The purpose of the web folio is to document and share my learning process with the intended audience. After I identified the purpose of the web folio and the intended audience, it made creating the web folio much more fluent.
Next, I worked on the menu to make my Web Folio more structurally organized. The menu includes “home page,” “about me,” “blog,” “application package,” and “best work.” Within the blog page, I have categorized all works into units 1, 2, 3 and 4 and reflections for each team. My resume can be easily found under the page “application package.” Under the “best work” page, there is a section of revised works where all the revised assignments with summaries and introductions can be found. Hyperlinks are included to provide shortcuts for the audience to access the posted assignments on the blog page.
After having organized the structure of my web folio, I decided to put some relevant visuals to make my web folio more visually appealing and edit some of my previous marked assignments.
Overall, the process of creating my Web Folio was enjoyable. I not only had the chance to look back and reflect on my previous assignments but also to use what I have learned to revise and further improve them. In addition, it was encouraging to see how my technical writing skills have developed throughout the course. Thus, I can use this web folio to encourage future UBC ENGL 301 students and others in their technical writing journey.
