ePortfolio integrates with the Reporting tool in Learning Environment. You can produce a number of reports that look at different aspects of ePortfolio, such as: the general composition of users’ ePortfolios and whether users are commenting on each other’s work.
ePortfolio data is contained in datasets, or predefined categories, which you can use to produce different types of reports. You can filter the datasets to match your specific needs and specify how you want your results rendered.
As a part of the Import/Export tool, administrators and instructors can push artifacts, reflections, presentations, collections, and learning objectives into other users' portfolios for their own use.
Push functionality enables organizations to provide examples and template ePortfolio items for students. Organizations, administrators, or instructors can customize content in their own ePortfolios and then push out the content to courses or sharing groups. This enables you to provide better support, scaffolds, and generic getting started tasks for students.
If your organization uses both ePortfolio and Learning Environment, you can allow users to import items from your course as learning artifacts to their ePortfolios. You can allow users to import learning artifacts from the following tools:
Org unit sharing groups allow course designers and administrators to set up sharing groups at the organization, department, or course level and share them with users. Org unit sharing groups can be optional (users may choose to apply them to specific items) or automatic (users have to use them). Automatic sharing groups can be visible (appear in the Sharing Groups area) or hidden (users don't see the group).
ePortfolio items that users submit to a dropbox folder are treated as unique objects; they do not change when the original item changes. This allows you to assess or grade submissions without worrying about users revising their work.
Dropbox folders can be associated with a competency or a grade book item in Learning Environment. You can also attach feedback or comments to specific submissions.
Use rubrics in ePortfolio for assessing artifacts, reflections, collections, presentations, and learning objectives.
Rubrics must be available at the course, department, or organization level to enable users to attach them to ePortfolio items for assessment. Create rubrics using the Rubrics tool.
An ePortfolio user who has permission to assess an item can assess the item using any of the rubrics attached to the item by its owner.
