Overview of Portfolios

The Portfolios module in Elentra is designed to capture portfolio artifacts from students, which are then reviewed by assigned advisor(s), in the context of an ungraded activity.  With Elentra Portfolios, administrators set up portfolio containers with defined learner-advisor relationships.  Within the portfolio container, administrators create tasks for learners to complete & have reviewed by their advisor(s). Learners can submit portfolio data in text format, by uploading a file, or completing an Elentra form. This module must be enabled in your environment for use; contact Elentra Support to have this enabled.
