Discussion Boards work

I got answers to a few question though DB. That is why DB are so much important in online classes. Discussion forums are a fertile medium for sharing and development of the ideas. I usually learn more through DB as compared to the readings or lectures because learning is a collaborative activity. The forums which involved discussion on why e-portfolio is important offers multi-staged discussion and it encouraged a deeper level of learning and understanding. While finding answer to the this question I was pushed to extend my current bounds of knowledge and right on what I wasn't much aware of. Thus, I gained maximum understanding of the topic through reading and articulating. These kinds of questions develop experiential and reflective learning. They also enable students to articulate and re-articulate the topics those are being discussed and talked about. Discussion boards provide a platform of comparing ideas, open and transparent to all students in the class.

I liked working on the e-portfolio. I’ll have to work on re-building my resume as it hasn't be updated for a while. I’m not sure if a resume is always a part of a portfolio. I also don’t know if a career e-portfolio replaces a resume or rather it is a way to supplement it in the job market. I've tried seeking a job from last two years, so not very much aware of the current trends in the market.
