The CUSP ePortfolio is a space for CUSP students to collect artifacts of their curricular and extracurricular work from their first year at UW Bothell and then reflect on how that work has shaped them as individuals and students. The platform for the CUSP ePortfolio is Google Sites, one among many applications in the suite of UW Google Apps.
Below are a series of video tutorials to explain essential steps in the CUSP ePortfolio creation, sharing and submission processes.
