The ePortfolio development process is a step-by-step process of collecting, substantiating, and organizing documented evidence that demonstrates your skill proficiency levels.
 

The ePortfolio Development Process

An electronic  e-Portfolio serves as a achievements, activities, and goals. It serves to demonstrate past, present and future skills, as well as a career anchor for tracking employability as part of finding employment, staying employed, and keeping tabs on career satisfaction.

More specifically, it is a way to monitor skill development over time, assess your proficiency levels in those skills, and identify how they can transfer across industries during times of career and job transitions.

I have identified two approaches to the e-Portfolio development process: a conceptual one and an applied approach.

Conceptual Approach:

This approach is somewhat like following a traditional career development process (e.g., self-assessment; identify and explore options; set goals; plan action; take action).

1. Identify your stage in work
    

2. Develop an employability skills profile
    

3. Create a master eResume
    

4. Develop a personal profile
    

5. Gather artifacts that support skills profile
    

6. Convert artifacts into electronic files
    

7. Create a narrative storyboard outline
    

8. Establish navigational linkages between skill acquisition and demonstrated proficiency
    

9. Write supporting content for online reading
    

10. Publish your e-Portfolio to the Web
