**Option 1: PowerPoint**
This option is the recommended and supported option for the program. Essentially, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that showcases your work. While there is no set format for creating this presentation, it should be of a professional level and quality, and it should include the following:
 * A consistent, simple, neatly-designed PowerPoint presentation with logical navigation and **working** links.
 * A table of contents.
 * A personal introduction.
 * A link to your up-to-date CV/Resume.
 * A link to your initial SWOT Analysis
 * Links to an appropriate number of project examples/artifacts completed in your program that you would like to showcase. The number of artifacts is up to you, but it should be enough to show you have met the required standards and conceptual framework indicators and serve as a representative sample of your progress throughout the program. These are the projects you will discuss during orals.
 * A link to your completed NETS and Conceptual Framework Chart.
 * A link to your completed Field Experience Log.
 * A link to your completed Disposition Rubric.
 * A link to your Final Reflection Paper.

It may be most helpful to begin by reviewing submissions from recent program graduates to get a sense for how the presentation should look. You can access numerous examples in the **Electronic Portfolio Column** from

Ed.S. in IT examples here and here Ed.S. in SLM examples here and here

Once you have a good understanding of how the presentation should look and how you want to design your portfolio, it is time to design it, create it, and post it to your wiki submission page. To facilitate this process, we have created a number of tutorials that may prove useful. Please review them all carefully **before** contacting your adviser with questions. While these tutorials do not directly deal with creating a PowerPoint, the concepts of zipping vs. hyperlinking apply to PowerPoint presentations as well as documents. Hopefully, by this time you have acquired the skill-set necessary to complete the process with a minimal amount of fuss.

Once complete, you will need to upload your presentation in a zipped folder or provide a working link to your presentation on your assigned exit submissions page.

 * A logical table of contents.
 * A personal introduction.
 * A link to your up-to-date CV/Resume.
 * A link to your initial SWOT Analysis
 * Links to an appropriate number of project examples/artifacts completed in your program that you would like to showcase. The number of artifacts is up to you, but it should be enough to show you have met the required standards and conceptual framework indicators and serve as a representative sample of your progress throughout the program. These are the projects you will discuss during orals.
 * A link to your completed NETS and Conceptual Framework Chart.
 * A link to your completed Field Experience Log.
 * A link to your completed Disposition Rubric.

Instructions for Accessing Wiki Your work will be posted on a single wiki managed by the department. In order to access the wiki, you must login to MyUWGThe wiki can **only** be created using UWG's Wikispaces account. You will need to sign up for an account. There is a tutorial on this below. 1. Login to the university wiki system. Go to MyUWG and login (http://myuwg.westga.edu/). Click the My Campus tab. Under External Resources, select Wikispaces. (To work in the university wikis, you have to log in through MyUWG). 2. Open a new tab in the same web browser (so you stay logged in). Copy/paste the link the department wiki, and navigate to it. http://edsportfolios.wiki.westga.edu 3. Click Join Wiki. Within 2-7 days, an organizer should grant you admittance to the wiki. You will probably receive an email notification through your MyUWG email account. You can also revisit the wiki (per steps 1 and 2 above to see if you are a member. If a member, you will be able to edit pages). Request permission to join the program portfolio creation wiki (I will put this in soon.). Only request permission to join if you are building a final exit wiki portfolio. Once you have joined, you will need to create a new page for your wiki titled "exitportfolio-(First Initial + Last Name). As this wiki is open to editing by all members, **please do not** edit anyone's page other than your own. Editing or changing another person's work can be tracked and restored but could result in your removal from the wiki.

At this time, we do not have any examples of wiki portfolio presentations we can share. You will be the pioneers of this new format. Please understand that this option is for candidates who can complete their own wiki portfolio with a minimal amount of support and direction. However, to facilitate this process, we have included some tutorials regarding how to initiate your account and to how to make a wiki using Wikispaces.

While the tutorials do not directly deal with creating an exit portfolio for this program, the basic principles are the same. Hopefully, by this time you have acquired the skill-set necessary to complete the process with a minimal amount of fuss. If you select the wiki option, please note that we currently do not offer **any** technical support. If you cannot figure out how to complete the wiki successfully, you will need to choose option 1. If you attempt this option, it is assumed you already have skill-set necessary to complete the process or can work and problem solve on your own. Please do not contact your adviser with technical questions regarding option 2.

Once complete, you will need to provide a working link to your presentation wiki on your assigned exit submissions page.

**Option 3: Web Page on the Student Server**
This option is also new to the program. Essentially, you will create a web page that showcases your work. While there is no set format for creating this web page, it should be of a professional level and quality, and it should include the following:
 * A consistent, simple, neatly-designed web page with logical navigation and **working** links.
 * A personal introduction.
 * A link to your up-to-date CV/Resume.
 * A link to your initial SWOT Analysis
 * Links to an appropriate number of project examples/artifacts completed in your program that you would like to showcase. The number of artifacts is up to you, but it should be enough to show you have met the required standards and conceptual framework indicators and serve as a representative sample of your progress throughout the program. These are the projects you will discuss during orals.
 * A link to your completed NETS and Conceptual Framework Chart.
 * A link to containing your completed Field Experience Log.
 * A link to your completed Disposition Rubric.
 * A link to your Final Reflection Paper.

If you choose this option you will need to adhere to the following:
 * The web page can **only** be hosted on your student web space. No outside hosting is allowed.

At this time, we do not have any examples of web page portfolio presentations we can share. You will be the pioneers of this new format. Please understand that this option is for candidates who can complete their own web page portfolio with a minimal amount of support and direction.This option is intended for those with web design experience. However, to facilitate this process, we have included a number of tutorials. These tutorials were designed by Dr. Marty Bray for the students in the masters program and those taking his MEDT 6401 and 7467 course sections.

If you select the web page option, please note that we currently do not offer **any** technical support. If you cannot figure out how to complete the web page successfully, you will need to choose option 1. If you attempt this option, it is assumed you already have skill-set necessary to complete the process or can work and problem solve on your own. Please do not contact your adviser or Dr. Bray with technical questions regarding option 3.

Once complete, you will need to provide a working link to your presentation webpage on your assigned exit submissions page.
