Dear Instructure Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m writing to seek clarification regarding the future of Canvas Student ePortfolios (also known as Portfolium or Folio). I’ve come across information from Framingham State University stating that this tool will no longer be available after June 30, 2026 [1]. However, I haven’t been able to locate any official statement from Instructure confirming this.

Could you please confirm whether Instructure plans to deprecate Canvas Student ePortfolios (Portfolium), and if so, what the timeline and transition plan might be? Additionally, I’d appreciate any clarification on the status of the legacy ePortfolio tool in Canvas, and whether Portfolium is intended to fully replace it across all institutions. I’ve also seen a similar reference to deprecation on Rutgers University’s website [2].

If both tools are scheduled for retirement, could you share any information on Instructure’s future plans to support ePortfolios as a learning and assessment activity?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

James (posting via Karsten’s account with his permission)
