Curating authentic representations of deep learning: Tips for your digital portfolio

Digital Portfolio

A digital portfolio allows you to showcase your accomplishments and reflect on your learning to audiences of your choice.

ASU Portfolio provides you with a customizable tool for digitally curating your scholarly-professional identity.

To make your learning visible:

  1. Demonstrate critical thinking by providing evidence such as writing samples, video documentation, still images, data collection, etc.
  2. Always include a description of any evidence to help your audience fully understand what they are viewing.

“As a graduate student, I understand the importance of demonstrating the value of my degree and of presenting the cumulation of knowledge and skills it has provided. My digital portfolio allows me to elaborate on the benefits of my degree beyond the résumé,” said Samantha Ellenwood, graduate student, Criminal Justice.

We encourage all graduate students to create a digital portfolio while at ASU.

Learn more about creating a digital portfolio in ASU Portfolio, ASU’s official digital portfolio platform.

Legacy reflects the work we have done that carries into the future. Many faculty think about their legacy through their research and their students. Research becomes part of a legacy because it contributes new knowledge, shapes understanding, and creates pathways for others to build upon.
Become a Community Advocate
ASU’s Community Advocates Peer Mentor Program invites second-year graduate students to support incoming peers by creating spaces for connection, guidance and growth. Mentors not only help others navigate grad school—they also build leadership skills, community and lasting relationships along the way.
