Using a Portfolio Platform as a Tool to Engage: A Case Study of Nanyang Technological University School of Art, Design and Media

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Libraries and the School of Art Design and Media (ADM) have recently embarked on a project to develop a school-wide portfolio platform – ADM Portfolios. Using an open-source platform, WordPress, the project aims to further engage the NTU-ADM community by collecting, curating, sharing and promoting the creative works of ADM students and alumni. Playing the dual roles of a consultant and a project manager, NTU Libraries work closely with the different ADM stakeholders, which includes the school’s top management, Office of Technical Operations, Offices of Publicity & Alumni, ADM Alumni Association (ADMAA), ADM Student Club and industry partners. This poster showcases the key components of the platform, the initiatives introduced to engage the ADM community, and the crucial roles that NTU Libraries has played in the project.
