ePortfolio is a personal
portfolio tool for storing, organizing, reflecting on, and sharing items that
represent your learning. You can include documents, graphics, audio files,
videos, presentations, coursework, etc. that demonstrate your improvement or
mastery in a certain area. You decide what items you want to include in your
ePortfolio, how you want to organize them, and who you want to share them with. This
tutorial demonstrates how to add a graded assignment to your ePortfolio.
1. Navigate
to the desired course in MyFIRE.
2. Select class progress under Course Tools in the navigation bar.
3. Once
the page refreshes, scroll down and select assignments.
4. Locate
and select the title of the assignment that you would like to add to
your ePortfolio.
5. When
the page refreshes, select the assignments breadcrumb that is listed
above the assignment title.
6. When
the page refreshes, you will be able to view a complete list of assignments in
the course. Locate the assignment you would like to add to your
ePortfolio.
7. Select unread/read in the Evaluation Status column.
8. When
the page refreshes, select add to ePortfolio under the assignment
title.
9. A
pop-up window will appear. The (A) course title, the (B) learning tool type,
the (C) assignment title, and the (D) estimated file size will be listed.
a. Then scroll down the
pop-up window by using the scroll bar.
b. Ensure the Include
assignment submission files with the artifact checkbox is checked. This
option is checked by default. If this option is unchecked, the assignment grade
and feedback will be added to the ePortfolio, but the file will not be
added.
c. Under the artifact
details, title the artifact in the name field. We recommend adding the
course code and the title of the assignment to the name for easy recognition
when searching for the item at a later date.
d. If desired, enter a
description for the artifact. Note: The description will show to
other users if the item is shared.
e. Next, tag the
artifact. Tags are keywords that allow for the artifact item to be easily
searched within the ePortfolio tool as users are able to search for items with
specific tags.
i. To create a single-word
tag, type the word or words in the tag field.
ii. To make a multiple-word
tag, place double quotes around the entire phrase. For example:
typing "winter project" makes the two words a single tag.
iii. To make a private
tag that only you can see, type an @ symbol in front of the tag. For
example: typing @draft adds a private @draft tag to an item that has
been shared with them.
iv. To make a private
multiple-word tag, put the @ symbol before the quotation marks,
for example: @"rough draft".
f. Once finished adding
all of the desired tags, select add tag
10. Then
select add at the bottom of the pop-up window.
a. The pop-up window
screen will then show a loading bar to show that the item is in the
progress of being added.
11. Once
the item has been added, the pop-up window screen will refresh to show an
Artifact Created Successfully message. Select close at the bottom when
finished.
12. Then,
select the done blue button at the bottom of the View Feedback page for
the assignment.
13. If
you would like to view the graded assignment (artifact item) within your
ePortfolio or confirm that it has been added, select the course tools tab at the top of the page in the navigation bar.
14. A
drop-down menu will appear. Select ePortfolio.
15. MyFIRE
ePortfolio is divided into 3 main pages: the ePortfolio Dashboard, the My Items
page, and the Explore page. When the page refreshes, you will be on the
ePortfolio dashboard page. The newly added graded assignment artifact will be
visible under the my items filter.
