EPortfolios for Culpeper
Revision as of 10:40, 16 June 2006 by Sommera(talk | contribs)

ePortfolio Templates have been created by Alison Sommer for use by several faculty members 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.

Getting Started
