14	Before you get started You can establish a dialogue with your advisor by giving that person access to your e-portfolio. This is a great way for your advisor to get to know you. Your advisor can also give you feedback and help you see the connections between your experiences.
15	Before you get started In order to give others access to your e-portfolio you’ll need to have an email program open during setup. You can either use Microsoft Outlook or Web Email. Both allow access to Thomas’ Global Address Book – which is needed to add the usernames of people you will invite to view your portfolio. The following steps will outline how to create your portfolio and give others the ability to view it.
