Getting started with Portflow

How Portflow works

Working with Portfolio can be divided into 4 steps. 

1. Build and organize
   In Portflow, you can structure and organize your work using collections, sections, and goals. The user names the collections and provides a short description (for example a collection can represent a competency, learning outcome, or specific project). Collections appear on the portfolios home page & can be organized by using sections. Students can connect the formulated goals to (multiple) collections.
   
   

2. Upload evidence
   Evidence can be uploaded directly to Portflow. Submitted assignments in Canvas can be included in the portfolio, including the authentic feedback of the assessment. In addition, (non-assessed) files or free text can be uploaded and URLs to external materials can be added directly to Portfolio. Uploaded evidence can be linked to collections and goals. In addition, it is possible to add descriptions and reflections to a collection or individual pieces of evidence.
   
   

3. Share and collect feedback
   As a Canvas user, you can give other Canvas users and external experts access to the entire portfolio or one or multiple collections. They can contribute to the portfolio through a feedback request or a progress review.
   
   

4. Lock and submit
   The portfolio -or parts of it- can be locked for assessment. The teacher sets up a Canvas assignment where a student can submit the portfolio, which can be viewed and assessed in Canvas. The user selects which collections and evidence materials are included in the locked version of the portfolio.
