Ed.D. in Educational Leadership
eFolio guidelines.
The following are steps candidates can use to create a sleek, well organized eFolio that clearly presents the required elements for the review and defense process. For more information on the actual technical aspects of building or importing on the eFolio, see the FAQ or video resources on the help site.
- Choose a theme that stacks the page tabs vertically. This makes for a much cleaner look. The design is fairly unimportant, but should be professional.
- Create the following tabs on the right.
- Home & Contact (or similar)
- Resume & Credentials
- Leadership Core
- Scholarly Work
- Specialization
- Dissertation
- Others as necessary or desired
- Upload (but do not place) all of the artifacts and links that will be added to the efolio, using any of the following:
- Upload File
- Upload Image
- URL
- Basic (for education, personal info, etc.)
- Now, you will set up the sub-headings (italicized below) for the major core areas:
- Leadership Core (Setting Direction, Redesigning Organizations, Developing Organizations),
- Scholarly Work (Professional Development Colloquium, Research Core)
- Specialization (Internships, other subheadings as needed.
- Open a “basic” selection from the “Add Content” area
- Title the “basic” element with the name of the element (e.g. Setting Direction)
- Under “Full Text,”, write paragraph(s) about what you did for this element
- On the menu for this “basic” element, open the section marked “Related Content”
- Drag your related artifacts for this element into this area
- Save the “basic” block. It will now be in “My Content.”
- Repeat for each element before moving on.
- Once a “basic” block has been created for each element, open the tab for “Leadership Core or Scholarly Work,” click “build,” and drag these “basic” blocks to the center space, and arrange them in order. Repeat for each heading to be given subheadings.
- Add your content to the Contact, Resume, and other sections. Link to live documents when possible.
