However, most of these eportfolios are ‘showcase’ or ‘presentation’ eportfoliosie the ‘final product’ of a learning journey or work experience, so making them public or open to a network or community makes sense.However, there are other reasons times when you might not want our online identity to be so ‘public’ and you may prefer to have a:Learning Eportfolio - to help document and guide learning over timeAssessment Eportfolio – to demonstrate that you have the skills and competencies to pass an assessment or to gain recognition of prior learning (RPL)Personal Development Eportfolio – to help support personal, educational and/or career development and planningWorking/Professional Eportfolios – to collect workplace evidence for performance management or demonstrate that you have the skills and experiences to meet professional/industry standardsGroup –to record what has been done for a project or for some grant funding etcHowever, having somewhere where we manage and share our learning and experiences in a private or controlled way allows us to test ideas and reflection upon our experiences before sharing with the wider world or at all.

Using the Text book – comment on whether Are there any other suggestions about what could be public, and what should remain in a private online space?
- There is no single way of getting started in creating your professional online identity, as you will need to ask yourself:What do you want your professional identity to say about you?What is the key purpose of creating your professional online identity, ie to promote yourself, to gather all of your important information into one place, to help you with your CPD?What information is already available online about you?Do you already write a blog or tweet? Have you had any articles or papers published online? Been mentioned in a media release?Can this information be included in your online profile through ‘embed code’ or ‘RSS’ or ‘hyperlinked’?How will you keep your different identities separate?We all have more than one identity eg professional, personal, community – so consider using either a different online name or different online spaces or different components of an online space eg (Facebook/LinkedIn Groups/Pages) to keep these separate. You can use tools such as “Hootsuite” or “Tweetdeck” to manage these different identitiesWhat method will work best for you?How regular will you be updating your online profile?How confident are you using different online spaces?Do you want to be able to update your profile using a mobile device?What space will work best for you?Do you want to ‘network’ with others or simply have an online presence with no interaction?Will you want others to see what you’re doing or would you like to pick’n’choose who can access your online profile?
- When creating your professional online identity it is important that you have a clear purpose in mind eg will you use it to promote yourself, manage your professional learning plan, record the outcomes from a project?Some other key considerations when creating your online identity include:Portability – will the space you use allow you to easily exportable your information and artefacts to another site or format if the space is no longer available to you, or you would like to use another spaceInteroperability – will the space you use allow you to easily integrate with sites or software systems (eg uploading PDFs or PPTs), and can it be easily used with mobile devices such as smart phones and tabletsStorage – will there be enough storage space provided to cater for the different file types needed to be stored Ownership – how will you be able to protect the ownership of their own information online (Creative Commons Licenses can be useful for this), as well as how to appropriately use other people’s information online
