A digital portfolio website is the most common digital portfolio type. It is like an interactive resume but with more room to showcase your talent, skills, and experience.
The Center for Instructional Technology currently offers support and training for two digital portfolio tools, Adobe Portfolio and Microsoft Sway. These tools are free for UA faculty, staff and students through UA enterprise licenses. UA users can quickly and simply build a multi-page digital portfolio to showcase their classwork, projects, and internships and serve as a visual archive of their accomplishments. Both tools provide a user-friendly interface, making it accessible for individuals who may not have extensive web design experience.
