Add Course Results to
your ePortfolio
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, course work, 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 shows how to add course results to your ePortfolio.
1. Login
to MyFIRE
2. Select User Tools at the top of the page in the navbar
3. From
the drop-down menu, select ePortfolio
4. The
page will refresh to show the ePortfolio dashboard, which is the main page.
5. Select
the My Items tab.
6. Select
the blue Add button to add course results to your ePortfolio
account.
7. From
the drop-down menu, select course results.
8. When
the page refreshes, search for the course that you would like to add results
from in the search bar, and select the magnifying glass icon to load the
search results.
a. If your course list is
short, scroll down the page to locate the desired course.
b. If needed, select show
search options to the right of the search bar. This option allows you to
filter by course code or course name. Both options are selected by default. If
you would like to search by one option only, then uncheck the unneeded
filter.
c. Once done choosing the
desired filter, select hide search options if needed.
9. Once
the desired course has been located, select the title of the course.
10. When
the page refreshes, decide if you would like to add the results from both of
the My Competencies Results and My Grades Results or to only add one of the
results by checking the desired course results checkboxes.
11. Then
select next at the bottom of the page.
12. When
the page refreshes, review the title of the results and edit the
title if desired in the name field.
13. Next, enter a description of the course results set in the description
field.
14. Next, tag the course results - Tags are keywords that allow for the artifact
item to be searched easily within the ePortfolio tool. You can search for items with
specific tags, and other users can use your tags to search for items (Your
items will not show unless shared). Once you have created your tag(s), select Add Tag. Tags can be added in bulk by separating them with commas.
a. 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.
b. 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 other users will not
see when you share the item with them.
c. To make a private
multiple-word tag, put the at symbol before the quotation marks, for example:
@"rough draft".
15. Select save at
the bottom of the page.
