Page Types Explained (With Examples)
Home Page
This page contains a picture and text. For example, it could be a picture of yourself along with a short introduction or biography. Beginning any text entry with the word spacing respects all white-space entered by the user.
Collection Page
This page contains a collection of links and associated descriptions. The link contents may already exist or be uploaded for use in this page. A short description goes on the right hand side. This page you are now looking at is a Collection page.
Templated Document Page
This is an "html" or "txt" document that will be rendered within the ePortfolio default template and chosen format. This is typically a MS Word document saved as html and uploaded into ePortfolio.
Weblog (blog) Page
This is a series of entries (perhaps journal or log entries) ordered by date; a weblog entry can contain an optional picture plus text.
Calendar
This is an easy-to-use web calendar to be included in your ePortfolio. You can add events to your calendar such as your class times, committee meetings, holidays and vacations.
Slide Show
This is a set of pictures and captions that are turned into a slide show for you. All images are properly resized for inclusion in the slide show.
Document Page
This refers to a stand-alone document; it is prominently displayed outside of a collection and will not render within the ePortolio default template. It could be any type of document including Word, Power Point, Multimedia, etc.
Survey Page
A survey page can be included in your ePortfolio; after the survey is launched, data is collected and is easily accessible (including simple statistics and cross-tabulations).
Wiki Page

Other typical wiki features include: ·A simple set of TextFormattingRules which allow access to a subset of HTML. ·Easy creation of links to wiki pages by joining capitalized words (or using special characters [[newPage name]]) ·Easy creation of new wiki pages. A link to an undefined page is displayed with a question mark. Click on the "?" link to create the new page. ·A RecentChanges page which lists pages that have been edited recently.
