Portfolio Basics



What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio is a carefully selected collection of artifacts
used to show an individual's growth, capabilities,
competencies, and experiences. Portfolio artifacts may
include: text files, multi-media files, descriptions of
experiences, reflections, journal entries, work experience,
skills, learning objectives, learning goals and more. A
portfolio owner (e.g., student) can create an unlimited
number of portfolios that can be organized and displayed
according to purpose and / or audience.

Organizing the Portfolios
How can I organize the portfolios to which I have been
granted access?
As reviewers are granted access to multiple portfolios, they may
find navigating among the portfolios becomes cumbersome.
Several options for organizing the portfolios are provided in
iWebfolio, including the following:
•Creating folders in which new portfolios will be automatically
placed, based on the template used to create the portfolio
•Creating folders and manually moving portfolios from the
default folder to the new folders
•Removing reviewer access to a portfolio, which eliminates the
portfolio from the reviewer’s list of portfolios for review.

Folder Management
16


What are 'Folders' and why should I use them?
Folders are collections of portfolios to which a reviewer has been
granted access. Portfolio reviewers who have iWebfolio reviewer
accounts may create folders to organize portfolios for review.
Placing portfolios into folders allows the reviewer to organize the
way in which portfolios are presented when reviewers log in to
their reviewer accounts. Reviewers may choose, for example, to
automatically place all portfolios created using a specific
template into a specific folder. By default, all reviewers have a
"Default Folder" for portfolios not placed into another folder.

How do I move portfolios from one folder to another
folder?
18
•
Reviewers may move portfolios from one folder to another either
automatically or manually. New portfolios may be automatically
placed into a folder by associating a specific template with a folder.
Sometimes, however, the reviewer will want to move existing
portfolios or will want to place portfolios that are not based on a
template into a specific folder.
Step 1: Under the “Portfolios for Review.”
Step 2: Click the “Manage Folders” link.
Step 3: Select a source folder and a destination folder from the
drop-down menus.
Step 4: Lists of portfolios currently located in the source folder and
the destination folder will be displayed.
Step 5: Select the portfolios you wish to move from the source folder.
Step 6: Click the “move” button.

How can I get portfolios to automatically be placed into a
particular folder?
20

Portfolios created from a template may be placed automatically
into a particular folder by associating the template to a folder.

What happens if I delete a folder that has
portfolios in it?
21

iWebfolio will not permit a reviewer to delete a
folder until all portfolios have been moved or until
the reviewer has removed access to the portfolios.
You may not delete a default folder.

Locked Portfolios
22



What is a locked portfolio?
A reviewer may wish to use the “locking” feature in iWebfolio when portfolios
must be submitted for review by a particular date or time. When a portfolio is
locked, a “time stamp” is placed on the portfolio indicating when it was locked.
Locking the portfolio also prohibits the owner from editing or changing the
portfolio until it is unlocked by the reviewer.
How do I unlock a portfolio that has been locked?
The reviewer must unlock the portfolio to permit the owner to add
artifacts to the portfolio or edit the portfolio in any way.
• Under “Portfolios for Review” tab.
• Click on the folder containing the portfolio you wish to unlock
• Click on the “Unlock” link next to the portfolio you wish to unlock

Feedback Basics
25

Feedback received from the reviewer helps the
portfolio owner improve the portfolio and the
artifacts it contains. Communication from the
reviewer to the owner may also encourage the
owner to reflect on the processes and products
involved in creating a portfolio.

How do I provide feedback on a portfolio?
26
Under “Portfolios for Review tab.”
Step 1: Click on the folder containing the portfolio you wish to review.
Step 2: Click on the “Review” link next to that portfolio.
Step 3: Click on the ‘Add Feedback’ in the bottom right hand of the
screen. Feedback may have been disabled for specific items via the
template used to create the portfolio. You will see ‘Feedback not
permitted here’ if feedback has been disabled for the item you are
viewing. To provide feedback on the entire portfolio, rather than one
item in a portfolio, click the name of the portfolio at the top of the
screen.
Step 4: If a measure was associated with the portfolio, you will be able
to complete the defined measure. Otherwise you can enter your own
rating and narrative feedback. The ‘Release Date’ will determine
the date the feedback is available to the owner of the portfolio. The
‘Feedback Type’ will determine who else can see the feedback you
give to the portfolio owner. If you choose ‘Public’ anyone else with
permissions to the portfolio can view your feedback. If you choose
‘Private’, only the owner of the portfolio will be able to view the
feedback. If you choose ‘Public Affiliated’ other reviewers
affiliated with your institution can view your feedback.

What type of feedback can I give on a portfolio?
28

Reviewers may provide several forms of
feedback to portfolio owners. Narrative
comments may be provided on the portfolio as a
whole or on individual artifacts within the
portfolio. Feedback may be provided using
ratings on rubrics or a simple scale. Reviewers
may also attach files or link web addresses to the
portfolio in order to provide examples or
additional suggestions to the owner.
