How to complete your e-Profile

● This e-Profile has a number of pages suggesting things you may wish to include as part of your record of learning and achievement and the skills you need to improve.

● They are only ideas as starters. You should decide for yourself what you think is important, so that it reflects you as an individual.

● Overtype and delete the blue or (blue italic) text and anything else that is not relevant.

● You can add pictures, sound clips and music, video clips and scanned materials, as well as personalising the background.

● Delete this slide when you are finished.

Before you start

● You may like to create a storyboard about what is important to you and what it is you will include in your e-Profile.

● The next slide shows what one student thought about including.

● When you have finished, delete these two slides.
