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.
SEU Students can have
access to their MyFIRE ePortfolio account after graduation by creating a
myDesire2Learn account. To view steps on how to create a myDesire2Learn
account, view this tutorial. This tutorial demonstrates how to import
ePortfolio content from a zip folder into a myDesire2Learn account.
Note: A
myDesire2Learn account is required to access an ePortfolio account. It is
recommended that a student creates their myDesire2Learn account while they
still have access to the MyFIRE system before
graduation. Students will continue to have access to their SEU accounts
until 30 days after graduation.

10. Once the folder has
attached, it will appear to the right of the choose file button.

import. Please allow the folder to fully import. This may take a couple
of moments depending on your internet speed.
13. Once the folder has
fully imported, the page will refresh to show a preview of the ePortfolio items
that will be imported.
14. At this point, if there
is an item that should not be imported, select the ‘X’ icon to
the right of the item to remove the item from the list.
15. For the myDesire2Learn
account, each user will have a maximum of 2 GB worth of space. Below the items
to be imported, users can review how much space the imported items will
use of the 2 GB.

exclude the large file from the current import and try to import the large
file(s) once again by:
i. Navigating to the individual item in your
ePortfolio account in MyFIRE.
ii. Select the drop-down arrow to the right of the
item’s title.
iii. When the drop-down menu appears, select
Export.
iv. steps 10-14.
16. Then create tag(s) to associate keywords with the presentation to make it
easier to locate at a later date. 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".
