ePortfolio Access
You must be enrolled in a course as a Teacher or an Instructor (non-editing) to access learner ePortfolios. The next section explains how to enroll someone as an Instructor (non-editing), including yourself, in an Avenue course using the Course Participants page.
For instructions on viewing artifacts in the ePortfolio, please refer to the following articles:
