As an applicant for the Master of Kinesiology program at UBC, I knew that the School of Kinesiology would be reading my web folio, so I needed to make sure that the content was relevant and useful to them.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who is not a web designer, I found the process of designing the website to be quite challenging. Fortunately, I was able to use the UBC blog to learn and build the framework for my web folio, which included a home page, an &#8220;about me&#8221; page, and a blog page. In addition to the challenges of designing a website without prior experience, I also faced the task of integrating visual elements into my web folio. While this was another hurdle to overcome, I recognized the importance of creating an engaging and visually appealing website that would capture my audience&#8217;s attention. Through trial and error, I was able to incorporate images into my web folio, which not only enhanced the user experience but also helped to convey my ideas more effectively.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the final project, I was required to revise all of my previous assignments and build corresponding web pages, which was a daunting task. However, I recognized that this exercise was a valuable opportunity to review what I have learned, improve my writing skills and consolidate my learning from throughout the program. By carefully reviewing each assignment and incorporating feedback from my peers and instructor, I was able to refine my writing and present my work in a more polished and professional manner.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on the process of creating my web folio, I also recognize that creating a web folio has many benefits for my future career. By building a professional website that showcases my work, I am able to demonstrate my skills and abilities to potential employers or clients. It also shows that I am willing to go above and beyond to create a professional online presence that reflects my dedication and commitment to my field. Overall, the process of creating my web folio has been a valuable learning experience that will serve me well in my future endeavors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I set out to create my web folio, one of the first things I had to do was identify my audience.
