About this guide
Creating a portfolio throughout your student and professional journey allows you to showcase your skillsets. By digitally collecting and curating examples of your capabilities and experience, you can create a strong professional identity online.
This guide has information and activities to support you in portfolio creation. Portfolios can be built in different platforms. We have used PebblePad for examples and tips in this guide. As a Deakin student you have ongoing access Pebblepad.

Identify your purpose for creating a portfolio
Select appropriate content to include in a portfolio
Develop appropriate language and writing styles
Recognise your professional responsibilities
