Week 5 | Portfolio Work & Peer Reviewing | Open Learning
Updating your Portfolio Posts
In Week 5 you will have some more time to develop and polish the posts you have already made in your Portfolio. In particular, you should focus on the feedback you have on the posts you made at the end of Week 2.
Your Portfolio is an ongoing account of your learning that documents and clearly presents how you approached each of the first two Learning Sprints.
Your Portfolio should also demonstrate further engagement with at least one of the two themes that you have explored so far.
On Thursday this week you must complete (‘turn-in’) your Portfolio work for peer review.
