Tutorials in PDF format

The following tutorials have been developed by Dr. Helen Barrett, to use off-the-shelf software to develop electronic portfolios. These files are restricted from printing. For a information on ordering printable versions of these documents, see below.

All tutorials are in Adobe Acrobat format.

E-Portfolio Development Model

Overview of how we create our electronic portfolios (includes Suggestions for Publishing Electronic Portfolios using Acrobat and iMovie, including burning a CD-ROM)

Creating an Electronic Portfolio in Microsoft Word and Excel (includes directions for scanning artifacts directly into Word)

Presenting an Electronic Portfolio in Microsoft PowerPoint (includes directions for scanning artifacts directly into PowerPoint)

Publishing an Electronic Portfolio in Adobe Acrobat (includes directions for scanning artifacts directly into Acrobat)

Creating a Digital Storytelling Artifact using iMovie (Macintosh)
Creating a Digital Storytelling Artifact using Pinnacle Studio 7 (Windows)
Collect, organize and publish image-based e-portfolios using iPhoto (especially appropriate for young child/family portfolios made up mostly of images captured by scanner or digital camera)

** These items are published on a CD-ROM that is available for $20 plus postage. There are printable versions of the PDFs on the CD, along with screen recording demonstration videos of how to complete many of the tasks. It also includes a new generic handbook with instructions covering each of my 5 stages of electronic portfolio development. The CD covers the information that is similar to the online e-portfolio handbook that you can find online at http://helenbarrett.com/handbook/index.html plus a few portfolio samples and templates and A LOT of screen recordings. These are demonstrations of the various tasks that can be completed with the software, plus my narration to support "just-in-time" learning. That is why I made the materials online readable, but not printable, so that the information can be shared but the intellectual property rights protected. I hope you understand. For information on ordering the CD, contact Dan Barrett.
