What is the ePortfolio Tool?

The CourseLink ePortfolio is a personal portfolio tool for storing, organizing, reflecting on, and sharing items that represent your students' learning. They can include items such as documents, graphics, audio files, videos, presentations, and course work to demonstrate improvement or mastery in certain areas.

Students can control what items to include in their portfolio, how they are organized, and who they want to share them with. Students can share items with peers, mentors, or potential employers, and can give them permission to view items, edit items, see or add comments, and see or add assessments to receive feedback.

Accessing the ePortfolio Tool

The ePortfolio tool, unlike most other CourseLink tools, works at the organizational-level, not at the course-level. This means that the tool is available to all users across CourseLink, regardless of whether it is being used in the specific course sites to which a user has access.

Because ePortfolio is an organizational-level tool, it can be accessed from the My Home page of CourseLink, immediately after logging in.

An instructor may elect to add an additional link to the ePortfolio tool on their course navigation bar as well if they wish.
