This document refers to portfolio tools accessible to Original view Scholar courses. These tools are not available to Ultra courses. 


Once you’ve created a portfolio, you can share it with anyone inside or outside of the CNU community.  When you share a portfolio, you are essentially saving a snapshot of the portfolio and sending that to others.  Any edits that you make to your portfolio after you share it will not be reflected in the shared one. To share a portfolio, navigate to the My Portfolios screen. 

From there, click on the More link under the portfolio that you’d like to share and choose Share.

You’ll be taken to the Share Portfolio screen.  Click on Share a Snapshot with to share your portfolio, and choose who you’d like to share with. You have several options on whom to give access.  Users does not work unless you know the CNU ID number of the user who you’d like to share with.  Institution Roles gives access to all of a specific type of user on campus, and All System Accounts gives access to everyone on Scholar.  These three methods are not recommended.

...

From the “Share a Snapshot with” menu, choose Courses (if you want to share it with a course) or Organizations (if you want to share it with a Scholar organization).

Next, you’re asked if you want to enter a password for your portfolio.  This would require that external users enter a password before viewing your portfolio.  This could be useful if you’re concerned about the link to the portfolio being passed to others. To password-protect your portfolio, choose Use password and enter the password in the field next to it.

Once you’re satisfied with the settings, click Submit and the people whom you’ve chosen to receive your portfolio will get e-mails with a link to your portfolio.  Anyone with the link (and the password if you’ve set one) will be able to access the portfolio.
