Online portfolios (also called digital or ePortfolios) give you a personal space to showcase your academic accomplishments, research, and creative projects to a wider audience. By building your own portfolio, you can highlight your best work from classes, research, internships, or extracurricular activities—all in one place. Sharing your achievements online not only helps you reflect on your learning journey, but also makes it easy to present your skills and experiences to future employers, graduate schools, or collaborators.
