Learners can access and complete their assigned evaluation portfolios within Canvas, allowing them to demonstrate their learning, showcase competencies, and reflect on their personal and academic journey—all while receiving feedback and recognition from educators.

What's new?

Learners can view and open all assigned evaluation portfolios directly from a new Portfolio app in the main Canvas navigation. Each portfolio includes detailed guidance from educators, including evidence requirements and submission expectations. Learners can add coursework, extracurricular projects, professional experiences and include images, videos, documents, and more. For group-based evidence, learners can tag teammates from the assigned learner group linked to the associated Canvas course. Learners can add reflective narratives to each evidence item to contextualize their submissions and align them with demonstrated competencies.

Why is it valuable?

This update enables a holistic and learner-friendly portfolio experience, helping students:

- Track what’s expected of them in assigned portfolios
- Submit a wide range of evidence—from coursework to real-world experiences
- Reflect on their development through guided prompts
- Earn recognition for competencies and achievements
