Here are the kinds of pages that can be included in an eportfolio with an example of each.

Each page is described (on the right) with a link to an example (on the left).


Home Page
This page contains a picture and text. For example, it could be a picture of yourself along with a short introduction or biography.

Beginning any text entry with the word spacing respects all white-space entered by the user.

Wiki Page
A Wiki is a collaboratively-edited website. The distinguishing features of wikis is that they could allow all users to edit any page, with full freedom to edit, change and delete the work of previous authors.
Other typical wiki features include:

  • A simple set of TextFormattingRules which allow access to a subset of HTML.
  • Easy creation of links to wiki pages by joining capitalized words (or using special characters [[newPage name]])
  • Easy creation of new wiki pages. A link to an undefined page is displayed with a question mark. Click on the "?" link to create the new page.
  • A RecentChanges page which lists pages that have been edited recently.

Composite Page
This page type allows you to create Web 2.0 style pages in the simple eportfolio user interface style; the building blocks of this page type are other eportfolio pages and RSS (which is supported from the ground up in eportfolio). This page allows you to construct a new dynamic page using these building blocks.
