ePortfolio Templates have been created by Alison Sommer for use by students in both the Spanish and French sections of the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures. The ePortfilios were created to be edited using Adobe GoLive. The templates are supported by the staff of the Culpeper Language Center and students who are using the templates are strongly encouraged to do their work in the Culpeper Center.

What's in a template?
Both templates have the same basic lay-out. They have an "index.html" which is the main page you see when you first visit the site. Within the index there are 4 frames: sidebar, top, bottom and main. Each of these parts coresponds to a different .html file. Sidebar, top, and bottom will all remain the same when you are going through the site. Main, however, will change depending on which of the options you choose from the sidebar menu.
Once you have your template in place and have it opened in GoLive (see below for instructions on how to do that), you will see that there are separate .html files for each part of the site coresponding to each of the items on your sidebar (sidebars may be slilghtly different depending on your class/language).
Getting Started
To get started you will need to download the template for your specific language, unzip it and place it into your wwwdoc folder. The template is available for download here:
Once you have placed the "Spanish" or "French" folder into your wwwdocs folder you will be able to view your site online. The URL will be: (where "userneame" should be replace by your e-mail username and "Spanish" may be replaced with "French". Note: Spanish and French must be capitalized in the URL or the site will not be found.
To begin working on your site, once you have followed the steps above, you should double-click on the file called spanish.site or french.site. This will open up your site in Adobe GoLive. From there you may begin to edit your site.
Tips for working with your ePortfolio
- Do not edit the file titled index.html - this is the file which pulls your site together, and unless you have previous experiance with webpage design you should not attempt to edit this file.
- When you are done editing a file just choose "save" NOT "save as" (unless you are working with blank.html).
- When naming files for use online avoid special characters (such as accented letters) or blank spaces as these may confuse the web browsers.
- All files which you want to have displayed on your site MUST be saved inside your wwwdocs folder, preferably inside your "Spanish" or "French" folder within your wwwdocs folder.
- When viewing your site online you may need to refresh individual frames for your most recent changes to appear. To do this right click within the site and choose reload
- The Culpeper student lab assistnats are all trained to help you with your ePortfolios, if one of them is unable or unwilling to help you please contact Alison Sommer imediately.
