Work on an Invited Portfolio

Help Center → Portfolio Help Center → Work on an Invited Portfolio

After you have accepted a portfolio invitation, or installed an invited portfolio, you can begin working on your portfolio. Portfolio pages are made up of sections. Each section can provide information, and a space for you to enter your reflection and to attach artifacts. Follow the steps below to start working on your invited portfolio:

Invited Portfolio Page Click thumbnail to view full image.
  1. Go to My Portfolios (click My Portfolios in the "Go to" menu), and then click the title of the portfolio you would like to work on. You will move to the Portfolio summary. (See image to right.)
  2. Click the title of the page you would like to work on. You will move to the "Edit page" screen.
  3. Read the instructions provided by your instructor or advisor.
  4. To add an artifact, click the Attach Artifact button within a page section. A new window will open that will allow you to attach an artifact.
  5. Select the artifact you would like to appear on this page from the list of your artifacts at the top of the new window. Or you can create a new artifact in the area at the bottom of the new window. The new artifact will be created and also attached to your page. You can also view more detailed instructions about how to create a new artifact.
  6. Once you've chosen an artifact to place within the page, click Attach artifact or Create artifact. You will be taken back to the "Edit page" screen and your artifact will be attached to the desired section.
  7. To enter a reflection, type in the text area labeled "Your reflection" or copy and paste text from another source. Any formatting originally applied to the copied text will be lost when pasted into the text box. As with all text boxes in the Portfolio tool, it is possible to add HTML formatting to your text reflections. Be sure to select the HTML option at the bottom of the text area if you use HTML code.

You can use the following four buttons as you work on your page:

  • Preview: The Preview option shows you what the page will look like when published on the Web.
  • Save: Be sure to save your work frequently.
  • Finished: This will save all your changes and return you to the Portfolio Summary page.
  • Cancel: This will ignore any changes you've made since you last saved the page, and return you to the Portfolio Summary page.
