Student Tools

ANGEL ePortfolio provides a digital destination where learners can collect and organize their work from both inside and outside the classroom. ANGEL ePortfolio's comprehensive toolset allows learners to transform artifacts from their coursework, co-curricular, life and work experience into a cohesive, digital representation of themselves.

Collect and Organize Work

ANGEL ePortfolio provides a range of tools and capabilities that make it easy to collect and organize a student's digital artifacts. Familiar file browsing and drag-n-drop make learners comfortable using ANGEL ePortfolio and promote quick adoption.

• Multiple file types – from documents and spreadsheets, to sound recordings, photographs and video clips, files that represent all types of learning are supported.
• Blogging capabilities – enhance course requirements, enable the self-evaluation that reinforces understanding, and engage learners in the process of developing their portfolios.
• RSS feeds – stream blogs that instructors and others can subscribe to in order to enable coaching and create connections between learners and mentors.
• Rubrics – present visual representations of progress toward individual goals to help learners assess their personal outcomes.
• Publications – showcase work in templates included with ANGEL ePortfolio or personalize layouts in design mode.
• Document sharing – publicly share or password-protect all or part of ANGEL ePortfolio.

Create Professional Publications

In ePortfolio, a “publication” is a web page that students create to share a “slice” of the artifacts they’ve collected. Students can create and design as many publications as they like using various templates and themes, any of which can be shared with others.

Publication Templates

ANGEL ePortfolio comes with a variety of publication templates, offering users the ability to create more professional looking documents. Example template types include Blog, Resume, Assessment, and General Purpose.

HTML Editor

ANGEL ePortfolio comes with a comprehensive HTML editor (the same one available in the ANGEL LMS) allowing users a range of formatting options for designing their publications.

Share Publications with others

ANGEL ePortfolio 2.1 makes it possible for users to more easily collaborate and share documents. Students can set their own user-by-user permissions to view publications, giving them control over who can or cannot see their publications from within ANGEL ePortfolio.

Sharing Options

Students have four options for sharing their ANGEL ePortfolio publications:

• Private – only those who know the publication’s web address can see the publication.
• Allow Individual ePortfolio Users – selected ePortfolio users can find the publication within ePortfolio, including those who know its web address.
• Public – anyone within ePortfolio can find the publication, including those who know its web address.
• Email – users can also share publications by email.

Finding Options

Users who are looking for others’ publications will be able to find them directly from within ANGEL ePortfolio. Users can find publications shared with them in the following ways:

• Find by Course – a list of users filtered by course enrollment.
• Find by Name – search for users by name.
• Shared with Me – only see users who have shared a publication with you.
