In the creative process of this assignment, I created a storyboard, viewed several published web folios, and researched how to make effective web folios on several professional websites. I read and reread the instructions and requirements of the web folio and started drafting it early. Although I started working on the web folio early, I kept getting sidetracked by new ideas and how to make it even more unique than anyone else’s web folio. Following the directions laid out in the assignment requirements was easy, but trying to figure out how to make my web folio unique within the time constraint was difficult.
For weaknesses, I had difficulty in was submitting the perfect draft I visualized on the due date. I wanted to create an extravagant website that looked polished and professional, but since I had all of my exams and term papers due within the same 3-day period, I could not finish everything I wanted without compromising my study time for another course.
Now that this web folio is finished, I am happy to say that I am proud of it. Although there are a few more things that I wanted to edit and add to it such as:
- self-reviews on assignments that weren’t peer-reviewed
- final drafts of all assignments on the “Best of Jocelyn’s 301 Term” Page
and - a final draft of my formal report with Dr. Paterson’s evaluation notes added to it
I am still proud of my work and what I have accomplished. With the experience of being able to draft a full web folio in a short amount of time, I believe that I have the capabilities to draft other web assignments and projects in other professional settings.
