3-Step Guide to Embedding Portfolio Entries from Portfolium onto Blackboard
This simple how-to guide will walk you through 3 very quick steps to embed your students' portfolio entries directly into Blackboard. There are quite a number of benefits of embedding work and projects from Portfolium into Blackboard including:
