Greetings students! Congratulations on starting the ePortfolio process. This guide will walk you through setting up your ePortfolio. If you need help or have questions please contact portfolios@hampshire.edu.

Please use the menu to access our various help sections or click here to get started.

WordPress offers various ways to build, edit, and customize a website that we can now implement for creating ePortfolios. A portfolio is not only a compilation of materials, but also a way to gather pieces of work together for re-analysis and reflection, where possible conclusions may not have been apparent before! The ePortfolio takes this a step further by using the internet as a means of sharing your works with a greater audience as well as having instant access for editing, manipulating, and updating your site.

Happy portfolio-ing!
