I must first say that this course is the first kind of this method and I'm pretty novel in it. I had some computer based courses, but it was not completely the same. I believe that I have learned valuable matters in this course, which I was not sure about in the beginning. First of all, I got to know that we can search, work on and learn on a subject matter on our own without seeing an instructor and I think that this key point. Honestly, I had heard about this kind of course, but I had never experienced such a course.
If you ask me whether am I more knowledgeable or not, I would probably say that "Yes, I'm" because I think that I know how it works, which softwares or tools can be used and how to handle the subject matters.
as for What I have got from this course is that I have learned the subjects that we searched, shared, disscussed about as they were mostly self-searching based and, as the characteristic of the course, it was my responsibility to learn these significant subjects.
Lastly, Although I didn't have chance to have a video meeting with her, which I was looking forward to, I want to thank our facilitator for her invaluable support.

The Description of My E-Portfolio Concept, Digital Presentation of Skills and Competencies
When I had my first glance at the subject called "E-Portfolio", the first question came to my mind was the reason of its importance and popularity. Then, after some research about this subject, I realized the important point regarding e-Portfolios as UK's Experts on digital technology for education and research also point out as following;
"There has been increasing recent interest in the potential of e-learning tools and technologies to support more learner centred and personalised forms of learning, prompted in part by national strategies for e-learning and initiatives in favour of lifelong learning and personalised learning. These have all prompted interest in the benefits that e-portfolios may bring to personal development planning (PDP) and to 21st century models of learning, teaching and assessment."
Regarding my researches and popularity of e-portfolio in education and business life, it seems that e-portfolio is going to getting the attention of more people and be more popular in the future.

As for my e-portfolio for my home university, during my researches, I really got impressed by its importance in the modern life and thought about a more general E-portfolio (with some parts presented) about my studies in Linz. As design and plan of the website, I would either design a html website or use some softwares to create my e-portfolio environment. When making my research about e-portfolios and getting more about them, I, in fact, got an idea of designing my e-portfolio and a drew a scheme of it on a piece of paper, as showed below;

| The Scheme of my E-portfolio |
As can be seen from the scheme, I would design a website interface which is similar to regular websites and after having a good design and necessary tabs on my homepage, I would put a list of categories which elaborate on Austria, Ph-oöe, and especially my skills and competencies (with their sub-categories presented) such as;
- Personal Competencies
- Educational and Pedagogical Competencies
- Social and Ethical Competenices
- Cultural Competencies
Having considered all these facts, I think that one of the things that I will do for my future education and career would be having a E-portfolio.
