How to leverage your portfolio resume section with semantic.
Most ePortfolio environments include a resume section. Students are either asked to upload a resume PDF file or fill a form with usual sections like contact information, education, experience, etc. In this presentation, we discuss two related issues: i. the potential benefits for students and employers of adding some standard semantic (EuroPass) to the resume section; ii. the idea of using the resume metaphor as the basis for building an enriched career or presentation portfolio with artefacts, campus activities and reflexive comments. These ideas are illustrated though a pilot conducted in a business school.
