1. Create a new ePortfolio. Name it EMS 470. 2. Create the five sections listed above (Executive Summary through Links). Those
will provide the navigation on the left side of the ePortfolio. 3. Create the pages for each of the sections as described above under each section. 4. Additions that you make to each page will consist primarily of typing the content
into text boxes and uploading existing documents or other file types. 5. Provide the URL per the ePortfolio instructions in the assignment within your
course. A sample ePortfolio following the guidelines above is available at: https://blueline.instructure.com/eportfolios/19553?verifier=9vR2DpszIMtj1HljVugATgb hXg8drddj1fYslNOf Most content has not been added to this example.
