Job aid for creating an e-portfolio in the KEEP Toolkit

Scott J. Warren

1. Start by conducting an analysis. What are the topic, audience, and purpose for the e-portfolio?

2. Follow this by doing a bit of non-digital design work. Start with a paper and pencil layout of what you want it to include and possibly look like.

3. Get feedback from someone and bulk up or cut down your proposed content.

4. Follow this by creating a digital text document of what you think you can reasonably create.

5. Finally, you get to the KEEP toolkit. Go to http://www.cfkeep.org/ and create an account.

6. Login to your account. Select the KEEP toolkit on the left-hand side.

7. You will then see a screen for your Dashboard, the main screen in KEEP.

8. Click on the button for New portfolio.

9. Select the Blank Templates tab at the top (in blue below). Click on “use template.”

10. Type in a name (Example 2) for your Portfolio next to Save As and click Submit.

11. You should now see the Example 2 portfolio file on your Dashboard.

12. Now it is time to start adding to your Portfolio! Click on the Edit notebook image to the right of your Example 2 Portfolio (to the right of Yes as well).

13. You should now see a screen that looks like this:

14. Click on Edit title to change the Title.

15. In the new screen, change the title to read “Example 1” by deleting the existing title and typing in your own. Make sure you click to center and bold the text as the existing formatting goes away. Click Save.

16. It should now look like this:

17. Click on the “edit box” box.

18. Enter the text you want in the box and click Save.

19. Click on “edit box” again. At the top, you should see the Add/Edit Image tab. Click on it and you will see the following screen.

Click Browse and find an image that you want to upload. Select where you want the image to appear. Click Save Image.

You will then see your image similar to this:

20. You can use the same process to embed video, by clicking on the Add/Edit Video tab. You may add video directly from your computer or give it a link to a video on YouTube or other video service. This process is the same whether you add it here or in the “edit links” area. I suggest adding one of the following videos from YouTube for fun:

21. Once you have Saved it, click close and it should appear on screen.

22.Now click on edit links.

22. In this screen, you can add web links to web sites that you want people to see. You can add multiple web sites in this screen. It is the same process as with the “edit box” directions above, so I won’t go into it any further.

23. At this point, you should be able to go back to the Dashboard and click on the link to Example 2 and see your Portfolio as it stands today. Make sure you also Publish it when you are ready to get a link that can be reached publicly.
