Build an Accessible Digital Portfolio

In this project course, learners plan and build a digital portfolio for a real purpose and audience. They curate a small set of strong artifacts with specific reflections, design a simple structure with consistent navigation, check accessibility, scrub personal and hidden data, license their own work and credit others, then gather feedback, prioritize revisions and write a design rationale that brings together the whole Grade 9 path.

What learners will discover

  • Define a portfolio's purpose and audience, curate artifacts against clear criteria, and write reflections that give context, role, process, evidence and learning.
  • Plan a portfolio's structure and navigation and check its accessibility: headings, descriptive links, alt text, captions, contrast, not color alone and keyboard access.
  • Scrub a portfolio of personal and hidden data, obtain consent for other people's information, and license one's own work while crediting others correctly.
  • Gather specific feedback, prioritize and track revisions, and justify portfolio design decisions in writing.
