Overview
Brightspace ePortfolio is a student-centered tool. Students can create collections that represent what they’ve learned in one course or across courses and co-curricular experiences. Students can share collections with others in UVM, such as instructors. ePortfolios can include items such as documents, graphics, video/audio files, and presentations.
Students can control what items to include in their portfolio, how they are organized, and sharing permissions. Permissions include view items, edit items, see or add comments, and see or add assessments to receive feedback.
Artifacts are items: such as Word documents, PDFs or image files. Assignments submitted in Brightspace can also be imported into an ePortfolio, if the instructor has enabled that feature)
Collections are Folders. You can group individual Artifacts or Items into Collections.
Presentations are web projects showcasing your artifacts and collections.
