2. What can an eportfolio do?
An eportfolio can help you:
Collect and organize files such as certificates, past work, photos, CV, class notes, and other artifacts
Share pages with others if and when you choose
Document work completed in a course/program
Display their work to an external audience using a secret URL

3. What does it look like?
Once you login to eportfolio.usask.ca, you will see your Dashboard:
Click on
‘Hide information box’
The Create, Share, and Engage options are not useful to us.  Please click on ‘Hide information box’ to get rid of them.
In previous years, there was a useless thing called ‘Latest changes I can view’.  We encouraged students to delete it. As of June 2018, all new accounts do not have this.
