Adding an Image

[cbazar]

Hi,
I am testing the Showcase Portfolio and cannot see how to insert an image as my Project/Experience Evidence?

Hi @cbazar,

You can attach files to your projects. When you open an evidence requirement in an Evaluation Portfolio as a learner, or an evidence item in a Showcase Portfolio, scroll down to find the Attachments section where you can upload your files.

I also recommend checking out our student guides to get more familiar with the product:

Thank you. I realized I was in the Instructor view! Are students able to add .ppts as I didn't see that as a file option?

Yes you can attach different files but an instructor will need to download them to view them unfortunately (including images)
There does not seem to be a way to embed images the way you would expect to with a typical ePortfolio

@Dalma_Schnell will this be addressed for ease of instructor use?

Embedding images would be critical -- not only for ease of the instructor, but also because formatting a page with embedded images, etc, may be part of the presentation of the portfolio.       I know our students and teachers won't use the Portfolio tool if they have to download to view.
