Task from Part1_PFDefined_05
Three important features of a digital portfolio:
1. Acessibilty: It can be accessed by anyone in the world and edited by the creator anywhere in the world (wth a computer that has an internet connection of course :P) This might be a disadvantag as well: It allows other students to plagiarise from our work. (For e.g. Taufiq is taking a look at my previous draft of this very post!) In addition, it may be an issue for personal security, i.e. if the kidnappers of Dhaka city become smart enough, they can access our weblogs online for persoal information and photos.
2. Organisation/Format: It is much easier to move around things on our digifoilo once wehave craeted it, whereas in a hard copy we might need to redo everything. If we want to change the order of the items on a hard copy, we might need to take out each page and put it bak in, whereas this is made easier on a digital folio: we only neefd to adjust the linbks here and there. A major disadvantage to this is that we need to be web-page-authoring-savvy and be comfortable working with blogs.
3. Multimedia: This is a huge advantage over portfolios on paper. It allows us to present our work samples in their original format (powerpoint presentations, videos, etc.) and also show videoclips/photos of ourselves presenting our work. In addition, we are not limited to just an A4 page. We can even create interactive pages on dgital portfolios (I'm not sure if that's possible on blogs).
Rest of this task in next post...
