Dashboard
The Springboard ePortfolio is a tool for storing, organizing, reflecting on and sharing items that represent
your learning. You can include documents, graphics,
audio files, videos, presentations, course work, etc...
to demonstrate your improvement or mastery in a
certain area.
The Dashboard is the central area for managing your
ePortfolio preferences, updates, and searching for
items. You can quickly review changes to portfolio
items you’ve recently worked on and view ePortfolio
items from your peers. You can also add new items to
your ePortfolio from the Dashboard.
