Portfolio

The portfolio tool lets learners collect and showcase their work throughout the course. It serves as a digital portfolio where learners can compile their best work, reflections, and achievements.

How Portfolios Work

Each learner has a personal portfolio within the course where they can:

• Add items — Write text entries with the rich-text editor and attach one or more files to each item

• Organize content — Tag items so they can be filtered by topic

• Share selectively — Set the visibility of each item: hidden, visible to the course, hidden except for the teacher, or shared with selected users when advanced sharing is enabled

As a Teacher

You can use portfolios for:

• Reflective learning — Ask learners to maintain a portfolio of reflections on their learning journey

• Competency demonstration — Have learners collect evidence of skills and knowledge

• Assessment — Review portfolio contents as part of your evaluation

To view a learner's portfolio, open the portfolio tool and filter the items list by user.

If the course is configured to allow it, you can score portfolio items and individual comments — these scores can then feed into the gradebook. You can also highlight items you want to draw attention to, and mark items or comments as templates so you (or learners) can reuse them as a starting point for new entries. Portfolios can be exported as PDF or ZIP.

Tips

• Define expectations — Tell learners what kinds of items to include and how to organize their portfolio

• Review regularly — Check portfolios periodically rather than only at the end of the course

• Combine with skills — Use portfolios alongside the skills/certificates system to create a comprehensive competency record
