What it is

D2L ePortfolio is a learning-evidence portfolio for Brightspace users. It stores documents, graphics, audio, video, presentations, coursework and other artifacts, then lets learners decide what to include and how to arrange it. Sharing permissions can allow others to view, edit, comment on or assess selected items. Presentations turn portfolio material into multipage web projects for showing learning and accomplishments. Comments and rubric assessments can be enabled for artifacts, collections, reflections, presentations and learning objectives when permissions allow. Learners may submit an item to a Brightspace assignment; the assignment receives a separate copy that later portfolio edits do not change. A Google Drive selector is available when an administrator enables the integration and the institution has a Google Workspace license. Android, iOS and web access are supported. D2L says Brightspace serves schools, higher education and corporate learning, with customized pricing on request.
