14Portfolio 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.
Topics
15Organizing 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 reviewers list
of portfolios for review.
Topics
16Folder Management
- 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.
Topics
17- How do I create a new 'Folder
-
- You can use folders to keep portfolios organized
within iWebfolio just as you do on your PC. - Click Portfolios for Review tab.
- Click the New Folder link
- A popup window will appear prompting you for the
folder name. Enter the folder name and click Add
Folder
Topics
18- How do I move portfolios from one folder to
another folder? - 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. - Under the Portfolios for Review.
- Click the Manage Folders link.
- Select a source folder and a destination folder
from the drop-down menus. - Lists of portfolios currently located in the
source folder and the destination folder will be
displayed. - Select the portfolios you wish to move from the
source folder. - Click the move button.
See example on next slide

Step 2 Choose a source folder. Choose a
destination folder. Highlight portfolio in source
folder to move and click on MOVE
Topics
20- How can I get portfolios to automatically be
placed into a particular folder? - Portfolios created from a template may be placed
automatically into a particular folder by
associating the template to a folder. When
portfolios are created using the selected
template and the owner grants permission to the
reviewer, the portfolios will be placed into the
chosen folder. - Under the Portfolios for Review , click on the
folder you would like all portfolios based on a
particular templete to go into. - Select a folder or create a new folder. (See How
do I create a new folder?) - Click the Edit Folder link.
- Click the Templates tab.

- Click the Add link.
Topics
21- What happens if I delete a folder that has
portfolios in it? - 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.
Topics
22Locked Portfolios
- 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

found within the MANAGE PORTFOLIOS.

potfolio you wish to review or - Click on the Portfolios for Review tab.
- Click on the folder containing the portfolio you
wish to review. - Click on the Review link next to that

Topics
25Feedback Basics
- 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.
Topics
26- How do I provide feedback on a portfolio?
- Under Portfolios for Review tab.
- Click on the folder containing the portfolio you
wish to review. - Click on the Review link next to that
portfolio. - 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. - 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.
Topics
27Why iWebfolio doesnt allow me to leave feedback?
- Normally, you can leave feedback by clicking
the rectangular button. If the rectangular box is
empty, you will need to clear your browsers
cache.
Please clear the browsers cache
Click the button to leave your feedback
Topics
28- What type of feedback can I give on a portfolio?
- 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.
