Tagging Activities for Avenue.ca ePortfolio Auto-Collection

Margarita Berezyanskaya

Last Update één maand geleden

The ePortfolio can collect artifacts automatically from some of the activities in the Avenue classroom/learning management system.


After a teacher links a course activity to the ePortfolio by 'tagging' it, an artifact will be generated and seamlessly added to the learners' ePortfolios. 


Only certain activity types support this. These activities were selected because they are commonly used for assessments. Support for more activity types may be added in the future. 


The activities that support automatic ePortfolio collection are:


1. Assignment


  • File submissions
  • Online text
  • PoodLL voice recordings
  • Teacher grade and feedback
  • Rubrics

2. Quiz


  • Teacher feedback
  • Re-grading will re-collect quiz attempt


3. Forum


  • Auto collects: Each Person Posts One Discussion, Q and A forum, Standard forum displayed in a blog-like format, Standard forum for general use
  • Does not auto collect: Single Simple Discussion

4. H5P


5. SCORM


6. Questionnaire


7. Feedback
