Here you can see a short video about the use of the e-Portfolio tool in itslearning
When you as a student want access to your ePortfolio, you get access through your profile:
1. Choose your ePortfolio.
The above 5 functions are part of the ePortfolio. They are explained in the following:
Generally, your ePortfolio is private. You can make it available on the internet. See how you do this under item 5.
- "Content" shows your profile where you can enter information about yourself, e.g. by adding a picture.
- Here you can add a blog to your ePortfolio, as with the blog functions you know from other blogs. If you activate the Blog function, it is shown in your ePortfolio. It can e.g. contain reflections that you would like to share with others.
- Here we are at the core of the ePortfolio as your ePortfolio contains folders only. Here you can administer your folders in your ePortfolio.
- Here you can view your ePortfolio.
- Here you can administer your ePortfolio overall and not just on folder level.
6. Enter the title of your ePortfolio.

21. Here you can choose who will have access to your blog. NOTE: If you want to make your blog available to people outside of itslearning, you must choose "Available on the internet".
22. Save when you have entered your settings. NOTE: You can always edit your settings later, even if you have saved them.
23. Here you can create a new folder (see more under "Create new folder")
24. Here you can see your folders in your ePortfolio.
25. Here you can see whether your folder type is an assessment portfolio or a private folder. Specific for the assessment portfolio type is that it is inherited from the courses that the student is a member of. Private folders are not from courses but rather created by the student him-/herself.
26. Status refers to whether it is open or closed.
27. Here you can see the access for your folders. As shown above, the assessment portfolio is from the course "Administrationsbachelor NY" which is available on the internet.
You may want to share this with users who do not have access to Itslearning, or you may want it to be private.
