Portfolio is the new offering from Instructure to replace the legacy tools ePortfolios and Portfolium and will be available from July 2026.
It is a modern tool that merges course-level showcases with institutional assessment, offering better mobile responsiveness; skill tagging to align with institutional outcomes and peer collaboration by letting learners add teammates to showcase collaborative projects.
The new functionality offers two portfolio types:
Showcase Portfolio
A Showcase Portfolio (learner driven) to support storytelling, and the validation of skills / competencies. Showcase portfolios support multiple evidence types including Canvas assignments and allow students to submit artifacts directly and reflect on their work.
Evaluation Portfolio
An Evaluation Portfolio (instructor driven) to better understand a students’ learning and growth. Portfolios can be aligned with institutional competencies to help learners demonstrate specific skills and knowledge. This portfolio can only be accessed by the Instructor who created it.
How to access Portfolio
You can access Portfolio by clicking on ‘Account’ from the Global Menu, and then selecting Portfolio (see the screenshot below).
