Welcome to another video tutorial on using your WSI ePortfolio. This tutorial will demonstrate
how to create a page.
Pages are how you organise your collection of artefacts for display and if desired, for
sharing with others. In this tutorial I am going to create a page
to display my resume information but the same process is used to create pages for any reasons.
To create a page click on organise and collect on the Dashboard or hover Portfolio on the
horizontal menu and click on pages. We will go the dashboard and click
What you will see is a list of your pages. This is called the page overview.
Lets create a new page Click the Create page button to start a new
page You can see that there is a horizontal navigation
bar with Edit title and description, Edit layout, Edit Content, Display page and Share
page We will start with edit title and description
Type a Page title: This field cannot be left empty. If you do not enter a title, the default
"Untitled" will appear. (Resume of ePortfolio. Demo)
Remember that all fields that are red must be filled in.
Now type a Page description. The description helps you to quickly see on the overview page
why you have created this page. (This page will be used to display information from my
resume) Remember to add Tags as they will help you
to find the page more easily at a later stage. Don't forget to separate your tags with commas.
(resume, profile, skills) If you already have tags, you can click on
the link Show my tags and select the ones that you think will fit for this page as well.
They will be entered into the text field for you.
Now lets look at Name display format. Here you can choose which of your names you want
to appear on the page as the author. Clicking on the arrow and using the pull down
menu, click on the name you choose. Once again remember to Click the Save
You will now be taken to Edit content option tab
When you are planning your pages, you may want a page layout with columns. To do this
we will need to click on Edit layout. So let's click on Edit layout.
You have 10 choices for your column layout from 1 column to 5 columns. The 2-, 3- and
4-column layout options allow you to make certain columns wider than others.
When you have chosen your layout you need to Click the radio button above the layout
that you wish to apply to your page. You can change it at any time. We will click on 2
columns of equal width. Then click on Save.
Next you add some content/artefacts to your page.
Notice will now see a large rectangle with a blue border and additional tab options.
This is called the artefact chooser. Your pages will be made up of blocks. Those blocks
can contain content you have already uploaded in your WSI ePortfolio, such as files, and
your profile. Other blocks can contain text or external media such as YouTubes. The blocks
are grouped under tabs on the Navigation Menu of the artefact chooser:
• Files, images and video. • Journals
• General Résumé. • External content
• So lets start by Clicking on Profile. Regardless of which block you require on your
page, the process is the same. It involves two steps:
1. clicking and dragging the block to your page and
2. configuring the block (or providing some additional information).
In this tutorial I would like to include my profile information so I will click on profile.
You will see that there are two options under profile. You can see the name of the blocks
by hovering over them: • Contact Information
• Profile Information The area below the blocks is your page. Notice
how it is already set up with two columns as we previously set.
I want to include the Profile Information block
The first step will be two to click on the profile block and drag to the page area. The
dotted rectangle shows where the block will land when I let go of the mouse.
The second step will be to configure the Profile Information block.
• Block title: My Profile Fields to Show: (All of this information is
already in my profile. I am just indicating which pieces of information from my profile
block I would like displayed on this page. In this case,
• First Name • Last Name
• Introduction • Profile Picture: ePortfolio Demo
• Email address -- (use the wsi.online@tafensw.edu.au) • Introduction Text -- We can add some introduction
text here (Julie can you add something which suits our scenario)
Click Save. You can more content to your page by repeating
those two steps: 1. clicking and dragging the block to your
page and 2. configuring the block (or providing some
additional information). If this was all the content you wanted to
add to your page you would click done at the bottom.
I am going to add some more content to my page.
I am going to add some information from my resume, my journal, my photo and one of my
files: Starting with
Resume •
One resume field o choose Education History, Save
• One resume field o Employment History
o One resume filed Certifications, accreditations and awards
Files and images o Image --
single file - DemoUser Folder
o Qualifications (title it My qualifications o Certificates (Title it My Certificates)
o Examples of Work Administration (Title it Examples of My Work
Journal o Julie please choose a journal (whole journal)
Click done to finish Notice the page now appears in your Page Overview.
To make changes to your page simply click on the edit icon pencil next to the page name.
It is important to remember that no-one other than you can see your pages until you share
them.
That is the end of this tutorial. See further tutorials to learn how to share pages.
