The last assignment of ENGL 301 was to create a Web Folio that showcased all of our proudest works during the term. I previously never heard of the term, Web Folio, but I came to understand that Web Folio is a tool used to highlight an individual’s work and accomplishments through a web platform. For our particular task, we included our work from the course as well as our personal professional information such as the resume, cover letter, references etc.

When I read the assignment, I first googled the best platform that we could use for the assignment. After reviewing a few options on the web, I realized that I could simply alter the platform we had been using this term – the UBC blog site. After the realization,  I went to alter the current blog. I, however, did not love the pink colour scheme I had and therefore, changed it to a white theme.

Next, I started going through the peer reviews and instructor feedback I had gotten throughout the term and edited my work to make sure I corrected my previous mistakes. It was a great refresher to understand what I had done wrong and what I could do to make my deliverables better.

When designing the flow of my Web Folio, the first and foremost attention I gave was to make sure that when an individual lands on this site, they would know where to navigate. Therefore, I added explanations in the first homepage. I wanted a clean user interface, and therefore, linked all the works for ease of access.

I really enjoyed this last assignment as I was able to review my work, demonstrate creativity by designing a web, and could reflect on all the hard work I had put into this work this term. I was also able to realize that my writing skills, specifically technical writing skills, had improved during the term and felt accomplished at the end.
