Educators can easily create, manage, and assign structured evaluation portfolios to specific learner groups pulled from Canvas courses, with the flexibility to define requirements, associated achievements, and competencies.

What's new?

Educators can choose specific Canvas courses to populate learner groups and relevant assignments that serve as portfolio requirements. The interface enables educators to create a portfolio by building sections with specific evidence expectations. Educators can define what type of evidence learners need to submit. Educators can associate specific competencies with portfolio evidence. These competencies roll up to the full portfolio and are verified upon completion of all associated evidence. Educators can optionally award a Canvas Credentials badge when learners complete the portfolio.

Why is it valuable?

This update empowers educators to implement scalable, portfolio-based single or multi-course evaluation. It supports deeper insights into learner development by enabling educators to:

- Define structured expectations for portfolio submissions
- Connect evaluation portfolios to Canvas courses and assignments
- Recognize learner accomplishments through badges
- Tag evidence to relevant competencies for outcome-based assessment
