Eportfolio

An eportfolio is a great tool for presenting a curated batch of teaching documents that demonstrate your proficiency as an educator. You may also choose to maintain your portfolio after this assignment and add additional documents such as your CV.

Professional websites are increasingly becoming a standard for communication between academics. A website can function as an advertisement for your competencies as a teacher and researcher (which is useful to broadcast during application season). Additionally, your website can serve as a useful communication tool for individuals seeking you out after conference presentations or other networking events. We use WordPress here because of its ease and range of uses (demonstrating proficiency in WordPress is a useful job skill).
