How do I create a new ePortfolio as an instructor?

Body

You can create a new ePortfolio in your user settings.

Note:

If you cannot view the ePortfolio link in your User Account, your institution has disabled this feature.
If you are using a Free-for-Teacher account, you cannot publish a course until you have verified your email address.
If you do not see the Create an ePortfolio button, you may have an ePortfolio that has been marked as spam. Contact your Canvas administrator for further assistance.

Open ePortfolios

In Global Navigation, click the Account link [1], then click the ePortfolios link [2].

Create an ePortfolio

Click the Create an ePortfolio button.

Create ePortfolio

Name your ePortfolio by typing in the ePortfolio Name field [1]. Decide if your ePortfolio will be public [2] (you can change this setting later) and then click on the Make ePortfolio button [3].

View ePortfolio

Once the ePortfolio is created, there are several options for creating content for your portfolio, including a wizard that will walk you through your creation, step by step.

View Warning Message

If your ePortfolio has been marked as spam, a warning message will display in your ePortfolio. You will be unable to edit your ePortfolio until a Canvas administrator marks the ePortfolio as safe. Additionally, you will not be able to create any new ePortfolios until a Canvas administrator marks the ePortfolio as safe.

Edit ePortfolio

To edit your ePortfolio settings, click the ePortfolio Settings link.

Update ePortfolio

Edit the ePortfolio name or visibility option in ePortfolio Settings [1]. Click the Update ePortfolio button [2].
