3 1 P a g e Purpose The purpose of this e-portfolio is to showcase your academic and professional activities. As in the DNP Project, the e-portfolio is an experiential learning opportunity to demonstrate your skills, leadership, evidence-based practice translation, critical thinking, and communication. The e-portfolio demonstrates achievement of the FHSU DNP Student Learning Outcomes and the DNP Essentials through a collection of academic work that provides evidence of growth and transition to the DNP role. Content Specific content has been designated as essential to showcase the students work during the DNP program. Four sections have been identified as required for each e-portfolio and include About Me, Educational and Professional Experiences, Academic and Professional Presentations, and DNP Project. In addition to the main menu items listed, sub-menu items will also be included. The student may also add to this to customize and personalize their portfolio. Grading will be based on the instructions within this guideline and a rubric will be utilized. The following information will clarify the specific content and submission requirements. About Me Within the e-portfolio the student will have an opportunity to provide personal information. The student may present this information in any format they choose. The following information must be included: 1. A personal statement 2. Contact information 3. References 4. Community service activities 5. Professional affiliations

The optional video is not graded.

This will provide the student with the opportunity to showcase professional accomplishments and achievements. We strongly recommend our students look ahead during their program and identify professional opportunities that will enhance their marketability, provide a connection between academic learning and professional experiences, and seek out committee work and projects within the workplace or professional arena to build their resume. Content is not confined to the time frame in which the student is at FHSU. Content should span the career of the student s professional life. Content should be included under the Professional Presentations tab and separate sub menus may be added as needed. Examples and ideas of professional work that could be submitted include: 1. An abstract or poster from a conference 2. A power point from an educational teaching 3. A podium presentation power point 4. A published manuscript 5. Highlights from a successful grant 6. An executive summary of a quality improvement project or initiative This will not be a graded section as some students will not have professional presentations to include. It is highly encouraged to avoid word documents that must be downloaded for viewing.

DNP Project The DNP Project is the culminating work of the DNP students academic career and should demonstrate successful integration of the DNP Essential and the FHSU Student Learning Outcomes. Since the final DNP Project manuscript will be a large document the project will be separated for viewing and navigation. The student will need to create separate pages for each section of the DNP Project manuscript that link from the abstract. The information should be added under the menu section DNP Project. This section will include sub-menus and content which includes: 1. Abstract where each section is separated and linked for easy navigation and may include links to graphs, tables, or charts to visually display the content of the project. 2. The DNP Scholars Day poster 3. The DNP Project Hours Log Grading The e-portfolio will be presented at the final DNP Public defense and will be graded as part of the DNP Project III course. It is the responsibility of the student to keep the information current as they progress through the program.
