Now, with electronic portfolios, we have the ability to show our knowledge in different ways. Electronic portfolios allow you to add media such as photos, videos, audio, and text. A visual ePortfolio will engage your visitor and make them want to browse through your content. When designing an ePortfolio it should be aesthetically pleasing and interesting to look at.
