Abstract
This literature review investigates the value of creating a professional ePortfolio on a private website linked to social media to establish an online, professional identity for the author, who has trails of transcripts and decades of personal, academic and professional experience, through a self-reflection process by the author, which is based on a combination of insights gained from a critical examination of ePortfolio research, the perspectives of media theorists, and the author’s experience as a student and small farm owner. The author concludes there is value found in the process of creating, publishing, and maintaining a professional ePortfolio for the purpose of communicating a professional identity to a target audience, when ePortfolios are crafted by integrating ePortfolio research and media theory and utilized to illustrate one’s holistic understanding of knowledge through reflection-based commentary provided for each artifact or project presented in a professional ePortfolio.
