Students will consult with their lecturer regarding how they intend to proceed with the developmentof their e-Portfolio and submit a written plan. The
Students will prepare a plan explaining what they intend to include in their portfolio. Students should start with an introduction to e-portfolio, their purpose of creating an e-portfolio, artifacts they would include in their e-portfolio, platforms they are going to use, using reflective practice in their e-portfolio (a theory or model), and explain the relevance to career development in a nursing specialty. All the mentioned sections should be referenced (reference list and in-text citation). This part should be followed by a timeline (Such as the table below) listing the activities the student proposes to do in order to complete the e-Portfolio will also be submitted. After the timeline, students should write a short conclusion.
Students will then use this framework to guide them through the submission of their final e-Portfolio.
