Student eportfolios and Portfolium

[ReedBretz]

Hello:

I am a secondary educator/instructional coach for Kenowa Hills HS, in Grand Rapids, MI. I have been asked work on exploring portfolios for our students. I stumbled across Portfolium yesterday. But it appears that that may not be an active device anymore, and is getting imbedded within the eportfolios within CANVAS.

My question is - is this currently the case? If so, would the eportfolio area of CANVAS look different than the original eportfolio area?

Thanks. I hope that makes sense.

Have a GREAT day.

Hello @ReedBretz 
Thank you for posting in the Community!
As for the Portfolium system, that name is not being used anymore, however you may see it some places in our documentation. The new branding is 'Canvas Student ePortfolio' to better align inside the Canvas umbrella of products.

However that being said, it is a most active system and users can sign up for free accounts at https://portfolium.com/login

Here is a guide for signing up for a free Canvas Student ePortfolio account: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Student-ePortfolios/How-do-I-sign-up-for-a-Canvas-Student-...

If you are having any questions about that system, or if your users are having difficulty in that system, please email us at support@portfolium.com to open a support ticket and we will try and answer any questions you are having.

Thank you!

The Portfolium system is very much an active system which we support fully. It has been rebranded to Canvas Student ePortfolios however, with an additional area of the platform being rebranded to Student Pathways.

These areas are reflected in the Community here:
