ePortfolio Evaluation Help

If you leave ePortfolio Scoring to go to Home, Help, Syllabi, or Osiris, do not use the Scoring link to get back. If you do, your previous choices for Course, Section and Student will be lost. Instead, use the browser’s Back button to return to scoring.

The lists of standards and corresponding artifacts on the ePortfolio templates students download are taken from each course's Standards Syllabus. There should be a Standards Syllabus for each course used in ePortfolios.

The number and names of artifacts on syllabi can be changed by faculty. Adding or changing standards for your course needs approval by the Office of Student Services and Teacher Education. Contact Doug Allaire if you want to modify the standards attached to your course.
