Part 1: Setting up your Web space

The first step in creating your ePortfolio is to set up your very own Web space from which you will host your finished ePortfolio. In order for your ePortfolio to be visible on the Web at any given time, it must be saved on a computer that is constantly connected to the internet (otherwise known as a server). Web space on a server can be acquired online from a variety of different hosts, usually on an annual basis and for a fee. If you already have Web space on a server, please feel free to use it to host your ePortfolio and move on to Part 2. However, if you do not yet have any Web space and you do not want to pay a fee, there is a free and easy way to set up your Web space on the University server.

Every individual who has a Campus Computing ID (CCID) at the University of Alberta is allotted 1GB of Web space on the main GPU server. However, you will not be able to access this Web space unless you go through the necessary steps to activate it. In order to set up, activate, and access your University Web space, please follow the three simple steps on the next few pages.
