Introduction to Course

Hello and welcome to our course, build your professional eportfolio in English. My name is Karen Peterson and I will be your instructor for this course. As a part of our specialization, improve your English communication skills, this course will go over how to build each aspect of your professional eportfolio. From writing the headline and describing your work to putting them on social media. Like this sign for Georgia Tech, your ePortfolio will be your way to brand yourself so that others will know who you are and what you can do. Here’s more of what you’ll learn. In the first module, we will start building your brand by creating a headline and providing a short summary about your work. In the next module, we’re going to examine how to showcase your work by learning how to write captions and longer descriptions. In module three, we’ll complete the main parts of your resume by creating your education and professional experience. And in our last module, we will look at how to network with other professionals in your field. As we move through the course, you will learn about all the main parts of a professional eportfolio. You will practice how to write each of those main parts including your headline, summary, description in your work, educational background, and professional experience. You will also get to practice networking and you will get the opportunity to receive feedback about your eportfolio from other course participants. In that way, you and your classmates can learn together and grow together professionally. By the end of the course, you will be able to write the main parts of your eportfolio professionally in English. I hope you’re excited to be in this course. I know I’m excited to have you in the class and to be teaching you. I look forward to your participation in this specialization. And for you to build your brand, your name, like Georgia Tech, in my course, build your professional eportfolio in English.
