ABSTRACT
The ePortfolio curriculum described in this chapter is for a required, sophomore-level composition course at Florida State University, a large flagship university without a university, departmental, or program-wide portfolio requirement. The composing practices realized through making the ePortfolio help make explicit the connections between the work students are already doing and the key rhetorical decisions they learn to make in the composing classroom. The creation of the ePortfolio is a vital first step. The creation process begins by asking students to look across four ePortfolios and begin identifying conventions that guide the genre, such as a home page with clear navigation frameworks, context about the author and the purpose of the ePortfolio, multiple pages or sections on the components that make up the ePortfolio, and a cohesive aesthetic, among others. An important part of ePortfolio makingness is the creation, revision, curation, and circulation of artifacts in the ePortfolio.
