Paper For Above instruction

The final project in this course combines practical skills in digital portfolio creation, professional networking, and business website development. This comprehensive assignment is divided into two main components: a group presentation and a business website project. The first component involves preparing and delivering a group presentation that reflects on students' experiences with setting up their e-portfolios, LinkedIn profiles, and professional websites. The second component requires students to design a professional business website using Wix.com, demonstrating their ability to create an engaging and credible online presence.

In the group presentation, teams should focus on clearly articulating their goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics related to their digital branding efforts. According to the grading rubric, effectiveness of presentation hinges on clarity, organization, originality, grammatical accuracy, use of relevant graphics, and proper source documentation. Students should ensure their presentation is well-structured, approximately 14-15 minutes long, and engages the audience without reading slides verbatim. Sharing personal experiences about setting up and using the e-portfolio, LinkedIn profile, and website is essential to personalize the presentation and demonstrate experiential understanding.

Furthermore, the presentation should reflect on challenges encountered, lessons learned, and strategies employed during the process. Originality should be evident through innovative ideas, creative design, and engaging storytelling. Visual elements such as graphics should support content and enhance visual appeal. Proper organization of slides, logical sequencing of information, and adherence to APA citation standards are also critical for top marks. It is recommended that students rehearse their presentations to maintain time limits and foster confidence during delivery.

The second part of the assignment involves designing a professional business website using Wix.com. Students should select a business, create a clean and navigable site, and include pertinent information such as mission, products or services, testimonials, and contact details. Regular updates, credible testimonials, and responsive communication via comments can increase the website’s trustworthiness. By the end of the fourth week, groups must submit their live website link for evaluation.

This combined project aims to develop students’ digital branding, communication, and web development skills, preparing them for professional success in digital environments. The integration of reflective presentation and practical website design ensures a comprehensive understanding of online branding strategies and technical skills needed to establish a credible digital footprint.
