Candidates must submit a comprehensive multimedia portfolio that demonstrates their communication expertise, developed throughout their CI-badged courses. The portfolio serves as a compelling professional narrative to general audiences, showcasing both development of communication skills and their practical applications. Below are the suggested portfolio structure and components.

Landing Page
(about 60-90 sec of viewing time)

• Communication Excellence Video: deliver a 60–90 second video, audio or other multimedia content introducing yourself and articulating your expertise in the 4 communication literacies
  (spoken, written, visual, digital)
  

• Include a short-written summary of the video (50-100 words)

Communication Skills Gallery
(about 2 mins of viewing time)

• Curate at least 2 artifacts produced in Ci-badged courses taken, showcasing expertise in 4 literacies (spoken, written, visual, digital). It is possible for one artifact to demonstrate several literacies (e.g. a written report demonstrating both written and visual literacies).

• Present the artifacts (e.g., presentation excerpt, infographic, presentation slides/visuals, prototype of a product design) as an interactive gallery/timeline with thumbnails, clips, or embeds
• For each artifact, add a 50-100 word annotation explaining the communication literacy(ies) it evidences

• Critical incident: Based on the 2 artifacts, create a 1-2 minute narrated case (video/audio or a scrollytelling page) that shows:

• The original communication artifacts (or excerpt)
• The feedback you received (e.g., comments, rubric, peer notes)
• Before/after comparison highlighting your revisions
• What you learned and how it changed your communication practice

Communication-intensive Experience Gallery
(about 8-10 mins of viewing time)

• Feature 4 CI experiences (e.g., multilingual outreach, case competition pitches, public debates, community projects). Demonstrate how you have applied the literacy skills you have learnt from your CI courses in the identified CI experience to impact the outcome through the following:

• 8-10 minutes of media (highlight reel, demo, or audio excerpt) and supporting visuals (slides, poster, prototype screenshots) to visualize the 4 experiences
• Provide an annotation of up to 150 words of the experiences and explain the following:

• Your role, audience, goals, and outcomes/impacts. Illustrate how the literacy skills you learnt from the CI courses help you in the experience. Map the impact to broader HKU competencies or graduate attributes (global citizenship, problem-solving, ethical engagement), stating concrete evidence (reach, results, positive feedback).
