[Ref] 02. MyPortfolio: 5 Reasons Why

Many useful functions are available, including convenient access anytime, anywhere, one-stop management of information, and collaboration with direct recruiting services.

1. Easy Log-in Anywhere, Anytime

MyPortfolio is a web browser-based system.

Because it can be accessed on a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or any other device, you can log in anywhere, anytime, regardless of whether you are on campus, at home, in a café, or inside a train, as long as there is an internet connection.

Your ID and password are the same as your Waseda ID, so it’s no different from signing in to MyWaseda.

2. One-Stop Management of Your Information via “Contents”

The MyPortfolio system is linked with other electronic systems such as Course N@vi (LMS), meaning academic information, such as courses taken, as well as extracurricular activities, such as university sponsored international exchange or volunteer work, are automatically registered.

Once you manually add in non-university activities such as internships, part-time jobs, or certifications and licenses, the “Contents” section can serve as a collection of data regarding your important activities both on and off campus.

Combine with the “Diary” function, and you now have a bird’s eye view of your college life.

3. Use “Journal” and “Worksheet” to Record and Reflect

You easily keep records of your daily activities, for example, by using the “Diary” function which you can use to keep posts like a blog, as well as the “Files” function where you can store assignments or audiovisual materials.

It’s also possible to have the system automatically update information regarding your history of courses taken and other extracurricular activities.

The ability to reflect on your records efficiently through following the “Worksheet” directions is also a useful feature.

4. Creating and Publishing Your Portfolio Page is Easy

You can easily create a “Portfolio Page” summarizing your learning and growth by simply choosing which information to show or not show from the “Contents” tab, such as your “Profile”, “Journals”, “Files”, “Course List” or “History of Extracurricular Activities”.

There are many layouts available, and you can also customize it to your taste. Feel free to retrace your footsteps and reflect on the path you took while you put together your portfolio.

You can also make the portfolio public and attract potential employers.

5. Collaboration with “Direct Recruiting Services”

MyPortfolio is a database which accumulates facts regarding your growth during your student years. Taking advantage of this unique characteristic, we’ve implemented a function which enables users to link to Direct Recruiting Services to support students looking for jobs.

Employers will approach you through the direct recruiting service, and you can choose to engage them in dialogue and negotiate to match each other’s needs. You choose the information you want employers to see from the “Contents” tab of the portfolio.
