ePortfolio Introduction

 

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. 

 

Definitions:

Artifacts = individual items within the ePortfolio 

Collections = groups of related items 

Reflections = thoughts about your learning 

Presentations = web projects showcasing your items and achievements

Learning Objectives = plans for specific learning outcomes 

 

ePortfolio Dashboard: 

The dashboard is the main page in ePortfolio. On the Dashboard page, you can add new content to your MyFIRE ePortfolio, review recent activity on your items and items shared with you, and check invites from your peers. 

 

The “What are you learning?” panel prompts you to record brief thoughts about a current learning experience which you can expand upon at a later date. You can also add file artifacts or a link artifact to your MyFIRE ePortfolio or associate them with your brief reflection.

 

 

My Items: 

The My Items page consolidates all of your artifacts, reflections, presentations, collections, and learning objectives into a single view, enabling you to view, search, and manage all of your content from one location. On the My Items page you can:

 

·        Add MyFIRE ePortfolio content using the New Presentation link, New Collection link, and Add other items button.

·       Bulk add items to a presentation or collection or bulk associate items with learning objectives using the More Actions button.

·        Perform common actions to your MyFIRE ePortfolio items, such as view, preview (image and HTML file artifacts only), edit, copy (presentations only), delete, and share.

          Explore: 

The Explore page consolidates items others have shared publicly or privately with you into one view. Shared MyFIRE ePortfolio items display in a list that you can sort and filter. On the Explore page, you can: 

 

·       Browse items.

·       Depending on your sharing permissions, view and leave comments and assessments and edit others' items. A feedback activity icon appears beside items when there is comment and assessment activity.

·       Select a user's name to view all content shared by that user. 

·       Subscribe to an item or a user. 

·       Use the search field to find content. The search checks for matches within item titles, tags, descriptions, and owner names. 

 

The items that have been shared with you will also show under the Shared Items filter below the What are you learning? panel on the ePortfolio dashboard page.
