How do I add evidence in a Showcase Portfolio as an instructor?

Evidence can include assignments, projects, extracurricular activities, or professional experiences. You can also add skills, reflections, tags, and attachments to provide context and highlight key achievements.Notes:

  • If you do not see the Portfolio link in User Navigation, your institution may not have enabled this feature.
