ITEC 4610 - Project Development and Portfolio Defense

A key component of ITEC4610 is the capstone portfolio. The portfolio has two general goals:

• Document application of core competencies learned in the Information Science Degree.
• Demonstrate to potential employers the value you could offer as an employee with skills obtained through the Information Science Degree.

You will have two sites:

• A well-formatted LinkedIn profile with a link to your portfolio.
• A portfolio of your work using one of the following techniques:
  1. A responsive, hand-coded HTML/CSS web site (see https://getbootstrap.com) hosted on github (free) or your own website
  2. A simpler, non-responsive, hand-coded HTML/CSS web site (see https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_tabs.asp) hosted on github (free) or your own website.

You can see an example of a portfolio at https://blbauer.github.io/portfolio/.

Your portfolio will be a demonstration of your skills, your personality, and your career goals, so you can expect your portfolio to be different from those created by your classmates. At a minimum, however, all portfolios should be delivered in a web-based digital format and demonstrate the following:

• An Elevator Pitch that serves as a home page (5 points)
• A current Resume in HTML format (5 points)
• A current Resume in .DOC format (5 points)
• A generic Cover Letter (5 points)
• Writing examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
• Web examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
• Database examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
• Programming examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
• Soft Skills examples (2 examples are required, each worth 5 points)
• A reflection on your Capstone project (20 points)
• A well-formatted LinkedIn profile with a link to your portfolio (10 points)
